Early Life

Hailing from the village of Hussainpur in Jalandhar, Punjab, Malkit Singh displayed a natural aptitude for folk music and vocal performance from an early age.

In the mid-1980s, he immigrated to the United Kingdom, settling in Birmingham during the explosive birth of the live UK Bhangra movement. There, he founded Golden Star, pairing authentic instruments like the dholak, algonza, and tumbi with contemporary Western rock drums and electric synthesizers.
