Biography

Laying claim to the title ‘Princess of Bhangra’, Mona Singh has become one of Britain’s most sought after young artists in the business and enjoys one of the highest profiles of any Bhangra personality.

The source of this unique gem in the music world is the artist credited with changing the face of the Bhangra scene, the legendary Channi Singh (lead singer of Bhangra band ‘Alaap’ – Pioneers of the British Asian music scene and Bollywood music director for films such as ‘Yalgaar’, ‘Shaktiman’, ‘Janasheen’ and ‘Mr Bhatti on Chutti’, to name but a few).

Entering the world with a silver microphone in her mouth, it was inevitable that Mona would follow in her father’s rhythmic footsteps and take to the stage and recording studios in a big way. The star daughter of Channi Singh has made her own mark in an industry so comfortably dominated by her father since she was ever born and has shown the guys that a lady can also rock the Bhangra industry.

Mona has released 3 successful albums to date; ‘THE BEGINNING – AKHIYAAN VICH YAAR VASDA’, ‘THE SECOND CHAPTER – KANKAAN DE OHLE’ and more recently ‘STRONGER’, all which have enjoyed the number 1 position in the Asian music charts. Mona and her father Channi Singh have composed, arranged and produced each album, showcasing their outstanding joint efforts.

During Mona’s musical career, she has been awarded several prestigious awards including ‘Best Female Debutante Singer’, ‘Best Female Vocalist’, ‘Young Achiever Award’ and ‘Best Female Artist’ from legendary artists such as Jagjit Singh, Anup Jalota, Udit Narayan, Dev Kohli, Uttam Singh, Bhupinder & Maitali Singh, Anand Raaj Anand, Sikh Media Group, the Mayor of London and the UK Bhangra Music Awards respectively.

Mona also worked with famous mainstream dance producers ‘Basement Jaxx’ on a track titled ‘Lucky Star’. The song featured Dizzie Rascal (Mercury Prize Award Winner) and made it in to the UK top 20 charts. Mona featured in the video and also had the opportunity to perform live on BBC’s ‘Top of the Pops’.

Mona has performed at all major festivals and melas in the UK and has also toured America, Canada, Dubai, India, Pakistan, Sweden and Trinidad. She has recently completed playback tracks for Bollywood, Punjabi and British films such as ‘Mr Bhatti on Chutti’ starring Anupam Kher and Amitabh Bachchan, ‘Apna Desh’ and ‘A Distant Mirage’, which are due to be released later this year.
