SUKSHINDER Shinda's knack of mixing Punjabi rhyme and rhythm with a western beat makes his name a familiar one to music lovers. His name is synonymous with bhangra. His career started in Birmingham. He has played live on some of the best-known stages of the world. In the beginning,
Sukhshinder was known as a composer who had overseen the development
of several talented singers. His music has also featured on some
Bollywood soundtracks. But his latest offering Gal Sun Ja promises
to surpass his previous hits. In this album, the composer has turned
singer, and presents to his fans eight Punjabi tracks. And the lovers
of bhangra music can look forward to some foot-tapping numbers. His
fans still remember his albums Soorma, Chak De Boly, Has Bol Ve and
Oh Kehri. Gal Sun Ja promises to be better than all these. In this
album Shinda has not only composed the numbers but also sung them.
Today Shinda is in demand for his voice. Gal Sun Ja takes his
talent to new heights with lyrics penned by Satinder Kala (USA), Amar
Singh Musapuri and Pinda Dhaliwal. Added to this delightful mix of
eastern music and western beat are the production standards of TIPS.
This debut solo album of Shinda promises to make bhangra music
