Mini bio
How it started.
Born Daler Singh in Patna, he grew up in a family where music and Sikh devotional singing were part of daily life. In interviews, he credits his mother Balveer Kaur, father Ajmer Singh Chandan and teacher Ustad Rahat Ali with his musical education.
The breakout.
His debut album Bolo Ta Ra Ra arrived in 1995. Its bhangra rhythms helped establish him in Indian pop, followed by Dardi Rab Rab, Ho Jayegi Balle Balle and the 1998 song Tunak Tunak Tun. The latter’s video and dance later found a second life online.
Beyond the dance floor.
Film work includes the Rang De Basanti title song with K.S. Chithra and the title track of Dangal. Alongside those recordings, he continues to share Gurbani and other devotional music through his official channel and DRecords. In 2026, he described truth and love as central to his music.
