Bhai Baldeep Singh

Bhai Baldeep Singh was born in 1968 into a rare family which has sustained an unwavering devotion to preserving the Sikh spiritual heritage of gurbani kirtan throughout the tumultuous centuries of Sikh history from the Guru's times to the present day. As a restless seeker of the invaluably rich cultural and spiritual legacy of the Sikh gurus and the old masters, he has relentlessly searched for living masters who still embody the timeless values.

Although the Sikhs' loss of the sense of significance in music and culture has become a matter of great concern for him, Bhai Baldeep Singh has remained hopeful. He has devoted his life to documenting and learning from the treasures of the wise ones still among us, and has himself become an exponent of the traditions to ensure their survival as they are passed to the next generations.

He is the 13th generation exponent of the Sikh kirtan maryada. He has assimilated the highly evolved and complex heritage of shabad-reets from his grand uncles, Bhai Gurcharan Singh and Bhai Avtar Singh, 11th generation singers of gurbani. Bibi Jaswant Kaur and Maharaj Bir Singh Namdhari have also initiated him into some of the rare compositions preserved by legendary masters such as Bhai Tabba of Amritsar.
