Harjinder Singh is one of our senior Ustads. He learnt kirtan at the age of 6, he was initially introduced to the Vaja by his mother. Subsequently he received tutelage under the learned scholar Professor Santokh Singh. In 1981, Harjinder was blessed with the sangat and tutelage of Bhai Ranjit Singh (Nanaksar) who taught Harjinder tabla and proceeded his education in kirtan. In 1999, Harjinder met Ustad Surjit Singh Aulakh who began Harjinder’s education on tanti saaj. Ustad Surinder Singh Saund (Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham), is Harjinder’s vocal ustad. Both Surjeet Singh and Surinder Singh are continuing Harjinder’s training and education. In 2007 Harjinder was fortunate to be blessed with the company of Bhai Baljit Singh (Delhi wale) under whose guidance Harjinder proceeded his knowledge and education on kirtan and tanti saaj. Harjinder is a firm believer in a dedicated and respectful Ustad-Shagirad relationship.
