Bikram Singh emigrated from Panjab India, to Queens, New York when he was twelve years old. He quickly entered the local music scene, debuting his tracks at an open mic night in the city. Bikram Singh began exploring the boundaries between Punjabi folk lyricism and Asian Underground electronica, and he teamed up with New York's DJ Navdeep to record the underground hit "Aa Gayee".
Bikram Singh performed with Panjabi MC at Summerjam 2003, when he sang “B”aware of the Boys for a crowd of over 20,000. Since then, Singh has toured all over Europe, the United States, and the United Kingdom.
The 2004 mix-tape Exclusivesincluded a collaboration with Global Soul recording artist Shakti to produce "Do the Thang Thang," which played on New York radio stations Hot 97 and Power 105. Also on the album were the Tigerstyle-produced hits "Taakre" and "Nachna".
Singh's latest album, American Jugni, has spent several weeks on the top of the BBC Asian Bhangra charts. Singh brought in two major Bhangra producers, Tigerstyle and Ravi Bal, to work on the album. In 2005, American Jugni was the best-selling album in the UK and the track "Kawan", which featured vocal talents of Gunjan.
