Jassi to go global with folk Ludhiana, March 3 Jassi hails from Dalia Mirjanpur village of Gurdaspur district. On asking whether music was in his blood, he replied,“My home environment was hardly conducive to music and creative arts. I had an inborn dedication towards music and singing, but yes, I was never discouraged by my family”. The first-generation musician started his struggle when he was barely 20. He left his home in search of new trends in the field. He was associated with music and theatre for two years at Patiala. “I believe that there is no end to learning. I do not claim that I know each and everything of music. There is still more which I have to learn in the field”, feels Jassi. He believes that he got recognition after the release of his music video “dil le gayee kuri gujrat dee” by Times Music in 1998. After that there was no looking back.“ Kudi- kudi, nishani yaar di, koka were all hits.“I feel that media plays a very vital role in promoting an artiste. It is media which creates an artiste ”, he said . “We are lucky that we have been provided with rich, traditional and unique style of singing by our gurus. The traditional folk music should be brought to an international level”, he stressed. Married to a fellow collegemate for more than 11 years, Jassi has two sons. Saakar, the elder one, is 10 years of age while Jerry, the younger one, is eight years' old. “I have given them free hand to choose any field, but I will definitely provide them the knowledge of both classical and traditional music if they decide to follow in my footsteps”, he said. Jassi believes in the quality rather than quantity in terms of music and this trait makes him choosy. All his music videos are the perfect blend of folk, classical and pop.“A good song demands both catchy lyrics and good melody”, he adds. He is an ardent fan of Kavita Krishnamurthy and Asha Bhosle. The actresses he appreciates are Madhuri Dixit and Nandita Das.
