"Gurjot Sandhu is one of the newest Punjabi artists to come out of Canada with his release of Ishq Nachaya with music from Intense and a feature from Binder Bajwa. Jovan Heer had the opportunity to sit with Gurjot and talk to him about his debut track and what the future holds for this talented Canadian born artist."

Where did you get the inspiration to become a singer and what inspired you to make this track?

My love for music stems from being involved in Bhangra teams, playing the Dhol/Tumbi/Algoze. Slowly over time being involved in the Punjabi scene in Edmonton and Alberta, I became more and more involved in my roots. I always had the passion to sing but never thought about pursuing it fully.

Over the last 2 years my friends and family had pushed me to pursue this passion further. Without them I would have not taken this opportunity to produce my first single. Furthermore the biggest push for this track came from my friends Harvey Panesar, DJ Palay, and DJ Juicy. They were the ones who helped assemble this track and made it all possible. Having a friend circle that is always there to support you is the key to staying motivated and on track!

What can you tell us about your debut single?

This single came together because of all my friends that pushed me. Sitting around over the year my friends would ask me to sing for them at parties, and one of my favourite tracks to sing was Ishq Nachaya.

The song Ishq Nachaya originates from the Edmonton Vocalist Binder Bajwa, lyrics from Edmonton
