At the age of 18, while living in the US, Manificent threw himself into music full time. He put in four years of dedication to improve his vocals and his musical talent, while he perfected a genre he had invented for himself- a mix of his Punjabi heritage and the Hip-Hop/ R&B rhythms of his new homeland.

Then, at the age of 23, while looking for someone who could help him get his music career really moving, he stumbled upon Sunny Brown, a producer and singer in Toronto. Sunny Brown was really impressed by Manificent's dedication and creativity.

He saw a great raw talent in him. Bringing him to Toronto, Sunny Brown helped him get started on his first recorded single. The result, a traditional Punjabi song with western influences weaved in, proved that duo had great chemistry. In collaboration with Sunny Brown, Manificent, the musician had been born.
