His debut album ONE is a collaboration between musicians from Delhi, Mumbai, Pakistan and the UK. He was inspired by his desire to bring together some of the best International musicians he has met, especially those from India and Pakistan. An opportunity to bring together traditional rivals from the Indian subcontinent, India and Pakistan together by using music as an international language of mediation.

 The album is out NOW

Manjeet's music has been inspired by his experiences as a British Asian growing up in the UK. He is a product of the rich mix of artists from India, Pakistan and the UK that Manjeet has been fortunate to work with from an early age. It comes as no surprise then that Manjeet’s music is a fusion of eastern and western influences, including Indian and western classical, jazz and Punjabi folk, and is squarely aimed at eastern audiences but with a contemporary UK feel.

Manjeet writes his own unique eloquent Punjabi lyrics which conjure images of a disappearing era of traditional Punjabi culture and its gradual erosion by contemporary lifestyle. His lyrics remind people of the accumulated wisdom in the old customs which is being traded for more hip contemporary culture that has lost much of its wisdom in the drive to be more modern. He is particularly vocal about his sadness at the divisions in the Indian sub-continent between nations like India and Pakistan.

Manjeet has performed with several notable artists like Nitin Sawhney (UK Based Music Director), Aziz Ibrahim (of Stone Roses & Ian Brown fame), Ustad Fiaz Khan (living tabla legend from New Delhi), Hadiqa Kiani (Pakistani pop deva). He also had the opportunity to performed on Channel East with his own Jazz Fusion band.

For the future, Manjeet promises more of his eloquent Punjabi poetry with a special emphasis on developing a better more balanced fusion between the very powerful Drum kit and bass rhythms from the west, coupled with the melodic sophistication, mysticism and beauty from the east.
