Anybody's Fool

Lately

Baby You've Been On My Mind

I'm a British born unsigned singer/songwriter that lives in London. I'm of Indian heritage & my family is from Punjab where music is a massive part of our culture, folk music in particular. I grew up listening to an eclectic mix of eastern & western music, from Bhangra beats to Delta Blues. I fell in love with Otis Redding's voice & the whole Stax records era at the age of fourteen. At fifteen, John Lee Hooker jettisoned me into my long journey through the blues. The British Blues invasion in the 60's was a big influence on me, partly for the fact that those bands got the World to recognize the genius of the likes of Muddy Waters & Howlin' Wolf, amongst others. Led Zeppelin, the Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd & classic rock is a staple of the music that has influenced me. On the eastern side, I grew up listening to great artists such as Jagjit Singh, Alam Lohar, Nusrat Fateh Ali Kahn & Gurdas Maan. I love listening to everything from Punjabi folk music to Qawwali's to Ghazals -and you can't beat a good bit of Bhangra!
I sang in a choir at an Anglican school when I was very young but I then got into playing drums, tabla and eventually, guitar. My parents divorced & I moved to London when I was thirteen. It proved to be a musical turning point for me & I turned more & more to music to avoid dealing with issues of racism & loneliness. My first love has always been singing & I’ve always felt connected to something special when I sing, it's a feeling you can't really get from anywhere else. I’m fortunate enough to be able to sing tenor & baritone & I enjoy using my range. Singing & playing rhythm guitar has led me into songwriting & I've been working on my skills for the last six years whilst living in New York City. For me, songs are expression, the thoughts & feelings of someone experiencing life. Sometimes it's you and sometimes it's a character but you have to feel it. I believe in telling a story to the listener, if they choose to listen.
