About Jasbir Jassi –
Jasbir Jassi, the King of Punjabi Bhangra Pop is one of the most loved and widely-
heard musical icons of our times. Best known for his album ‘Dil Le Gayi’, which was a
chart buster, Jassi (as he is popularly known) was one of the earliest singers to popularize
this genre and set the trend for many other singers who followed his footsteps and his
style in later years.
Jassi received guidance from a gamut of musical legends at a very early age including his
gurus VS Jolly and legendary Sufi singer Puran Shah Koti. His other musical influences
include Ustad Shaukat Ali Khan and Baba Kashmira Singh ji who inspired him towards
perfection in his field. He also has a strong poetic and theater background. Little wonder
then that Jassi’s performances reflect the depth which comes from his knowledge of folk
literature.
Beside his chart buster albums, Jassi has given Bollywood hits including ‘Laung da
Lashkara’ for Akshay Kumar starrer film ‘Patiala House’ that created history. He lent his
musical voice for the song ‘Mahiya’ for film ‘Hope & A Little Sugar’ directed by Tanuja
Chandra. He penned down, composed, and sang ‘Pyar mere nu’ in film ‘Dobara’ and he
was highly appreciated for his musical senses. His song ‘Mel karade rabba’ for Punjabi
film ‘Mel karade rabba’ and ‘Ik kudi utte’ for ‘Munde UK de’ were huge chart busters.
