Ranj B -Bio

It all started 3 years ago when I was invited to my cousin’s wedding, a well known singer in Punjab, Sukhdev Sukha. He knew that I had been dj-ing and promoting for many years and I had the knowledge of music of nearly 20 years. So he asked me if I wanted to produce an album of my own.

Ranj B – Let’s Play

Ranj B has been on the music scene since the 1980s, where he first appeared as a dholki player for Saqi. He played percussion with a number of bands in that era. Ranj then when onto set up his own roadshow and has been busy with the roadshow since.
