The first Maan to hit
the Punjabi pop circle
Gurdas Maan had his early education in Malout. Right since his childhood, he was more interested in music rather than education. Later, his parents, S. Gurdev Singh and Tej Kaur, shifted him to Patiala for further studies where he joined National Sports Institute for doing his masters in physical education. There he bagged medals in various athletic events and earned a black belt in Judo. He displayed his singing talent at youth festivals and got recognition and awards for his singing and acting. After completion of his masters, he continued his work on stage shows, writing shows, lyrics and singing. He got his first chance when a TV producer from Jalandhar TV station approached him. Gurdas Maan, in association with him, released the song, Dil da mamla hai, on December 31, 1980. It became a super hit catapulting Gurdas Maan to stardom. In 1983, he released his first album in association with HMV. After that there was no looking back for this singer.
