Bhai Sandeep Singh Deep (Hazoori Raagi Amritsar)

Bhai Sandeep Singh Ji is one of the leading young Raagis today. He was born on the 15th of October 1986 in the village of Daleke in Tarn Taran district. His interest in Kirtan was nurtured by his father, a Kirtani himself, Bhai Jagtar Singh Ji. Some of his other inspirations include Bhai Bakshish Singh and Bhai Nirmal Singh Khalsa. Like many great Kirtanis, he began learning the tabla first, in order to lay the foundation of rhythm. He learned tabla from Bhai Harnek Singh of Ludhiana from 1999 to 2001. Then, he proceeded to learn from R.D Mehta for a short period of time. In 2002, he began vocal lessons from Principal Sukhwant Singh Ji who was based in Jawaddi Taksal, Ludhiana at that time. He says that learning never ends and that he continues to learn from Principal Sukhwant Singh Ji to this day.

He accompanied his father Bhai Jagtar Singh Ji on the side harmonium until 2008, after which he spent a short time with Bhai Darbara Singh Preet. In May 2009, he began his service in Sri Harmandir Sahib, Amritsar as the ‘saathi’ of Bhai Jagjit Singh Komal. He accompanied Komal Ji on the side harmonium for over 4 years before forming his own ‘jatha’ in 2014. He continues to serve as a Hazoori Raagi in Sri Harmandir Sahib with his own ‘jatha’ to this day. Prior to his service in Sri Harmandir Sahib, he served in various Gurdwaras in Ludhiana such as Gurdwara Singh Sabha, Gurdwara Kalgidhar and Gurdwara Sri Guru Arjan Dev Ji. He has traveled abroad to many countries such as the UK, the UAE, Singapore, Malaysia and Pakistan. If anyone has more recordings of Bhai Sandeep Singh Ji to share, please contact us.
