Jassi Sidhu is arguably the UK’s best Bhangra artist.
His rise to fame began almost instantly as the fresh faced 17 year old lead singer of the world renowned boy-band B21.
The band went on to become one of the, if not the, biggest phenomena in Bhangra music to date, with a sound and style that captivated a generation.
In just a five year period Jassi went on to sing anthems such as Darshan from the hit film Bend it like Bekham; Jawani and Jaan which established him as one of the UK’s premier vocalists.
He then went on to become a solo artist and in 2004 released the award-winning album Reality Check and more recently 2008’s The New Adventures of Jassi Sidhu, an album that already has its place in Bhangra history.
With his eight-piece live band Jassi’s explosive live performsances have confirmed him as the leader of the new generation of British Bhangra.
