The Mandi Boy Who Sang His Way to Mumbai

Born in the quaint hill town of Mandi, Inderjeet grew up surrounded by the sound of ragas and rhythms. His family’s rich musical heritage — rooted in the teachings of his grandfather Sh. Sat Singh Ji, founder of the Namdhari Vidyak Jatha (1965) — shaped his destiny early on.

That legacy runs deep. It was his grandfather who once organized Himachal’s first-ever Sangeet Sammelan in 1975 at Namdhari Dharamshala, where maestros like Ustad Amjad Ali Khan and Pt. Krishan Maharaj performed under the blessings of His Holiness Satguru Jagjeet Singh Ji.

Today, half a century later, Inderjeet carries that divine rhythm within him — not just as a singer, but as a torchbearer of Himachal’s musical soul on a national platform.

Rising Star on I-POPSTAR

Currently competing in I-POPSTAR — judged by music icons King, Parmish Verma, Aditya Rikhari, and Aastha Gill, and hosted by RJ Kisnaa — Inderjeet’s performances have drawn praise for their raw emotion and technical finesse. His effortless blend of Hindustani classical and modern pop has made him a fan favourite among both the judges and viewers.

“It feels surreal to represent my Himachal on a national stage,” Inderjeet shares. “Every performance is not just a competition, it’s an offering — to my roots, my family, and to the divine sound that shaped me.”

The Making of a Music Maestro

A Gold Medalist in Music (Vocals) from Lovely Professional University, and a Master’s scholar at Punjab University, Inderjeet’s academic journey mirrors his artistic discipline. A trained vocalist in Hindustani Classical, he is also a skilled instrumentalist — playing the piano, guitar, tabla, harmonium, and even mastering the technical side of music as a mixing and mastering engineer.

His collaborations with leading labels like Sony Music, T-Series, and Zee Music have established him not only as a singer but also as a respected composer and producer. He has composed for both mainstream and independent artists and even produced soundscapes for films and digital content.

Awards, Achievements, and Applause

Before stepping into national limelight, Inderjeet had already made waves:
🎤 Top 60 finalist in Zee TV’s Sa Re Ga Ma Pa (2024)
🏆 Gold Medalist in national-level competitions for Ghazal, Light Music & Hindustani Classical
🏅 Winner of Himachal Ki Awaaz, Voice of Winter Carnival, and Himalayas Got Talent (2024)
🎶 Shared stage with legends like Suresh Wadkar, Shaan, Jassi Gill, and Babbal Rai

Beyond the stage, Inderjeet has also served as a music tutor and coach, mentoring young artists and promoting Himachal’s folk culture through his label Great Himalayan Records.

A Voice of the Mountains

Among his proudest works is “Divyadhraa – A Journey to the Divine Land of Himachal Pradesh,” a musical tribute released by former CM Jai Ram Thakur to mark 50 glorious years of Himachal’s statehood. The song, later appreciated by Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu and MP Rani Pratibha Singh, reflects his deep connection with the land that raised him.

Beyond Stardom – A Mission in Melody

In a world chasing fame, Inderjeet’s story stands apart. His success is built not on overnight virality but on years of practice, humility, and purpose. Whether performing classical bandishes, composing indie tracks, or fusing Himachali folk with electronic beats, he continues to create a sound that is authentically Indian yet universally resonant.

From his modest beginnings in Mandi to representing India’s next wave of pop music, Inderjeet Singh is more than a rising star — he’s the new voice of the Himalayas, echoing through Spotify playlists, MX Player screens, and the hearts of music lovers across the nation.
