Born in Punjab, Bikram was raised on the sounds of revered Punjabi artists like Kuldip Manak and Yamla Jatt. When his family relocated to Queens, New York in the early 1990s, Bikram became a great fan of hip-hop, dancehall, and the hybriding that was occurring between them and Indian music in New York at the time. As a teenager, Bikram melded his love of Punjabi culture with the music that surrounded him, rapping and singing in Punjabi as his friends freestyled in English. With his classic boliyan (poetry) riding over streetwise beats, Bikram fused the ancient stories of the "pind" (village) to the modern energy of the City so convincingly, you'd never know they were separate.

"Aa Gaye," Bikram's first foray into recording, was a love song in a classic Punjabi style; it was produced by DJ Navdeep in 2002 and quickly became a standard in the NYC desi scene. Along with the afore-mentioned "Do the Thang Thang," it is now being released on the soundtrack to the film "Where's the Party, Yaar?" Meanwhile, Bikram's experiments with blending Punjabi stories and the energy of New York have become deeper and more nuanced, leading him to his first two bona fide hits, the undisputed club banger "Taakre," and the charming "Nachena," both produced by Glasgow born Tigerstyle. Layering Bikram's Punjabi verse over a tough-as-nails hip hop beat and a dhol track that all but ensnares the listener, "Taakre" has become one of the most-requested songs on BBC's radio 1 network. "Nachna," a re-working of an older Tigerstyle song, is a fast, melodic dance track that gets the girls on the floor every time; both have been featured on compilations such as Def Jam's best-selling "Desi Beats," Outcaste's "Essential Urban Flavaz," and Untouchables UK "Urbanflavaz 2." The widespread appeal of his songs, coupled with his knowledge of Punjabi history and his phenomenal voice, mean only one thing: Bikram Singh's music is the definitive soundtrack for the young, urban Indians.
