His intimate knowledge of Bhangra led to him joining the UK's
largest professional discoteque company, Calibar Roadshow
and go on to possibly be the UK’s most sought after wedding DJ.
With an abundance of commitment and self belief, H continued
to progress in the music industry by signing a developmental deal
with the UK's biggest Desi label, Untouchables UK. In 2005, H went
on to piece together his musical ideas and knowledge into his first
album. 'The Debut' album was released under the Untouchables
UK record label. The album showcased H's variety of musical
influences through some noticeable sampling, guided by label-mates
RDB.
It was the opportunity to work with chart-topping
singer/songwriter Lembher Hussainpuri that propelled H's name into
every bhangra fans CD players and iPods. The club anthem 'Ishq
Brandy' was the Bhangra record of the year, and the single and
album held onto the BBC Asian Network Charts top spot for an
unprecedented 13 weeks straight. Additionally, 'The Debut'
also remained at the top of Club Asia's chart for 8 weeks. 'The
Debut' was considered one of the albums of the year, and
'Ishq Brandy' without doubt the Bhangra club banger of the
year.
The success of the album forced H into every nightclub in
the country, often performing in two different cities on the same
night. H’s international reputation as one of the best
Bhangra DJ's has also been enhanced with international bookings in
Dubai, India and Hong Kong, amongst others.
Not satisfied with one hit album, H began working on his
follow-up album - 'Reloaded'. Not forgetting his roots, this
time H acquired the talents of fellow Calibar Roadshow member and
friend DJ Rags, coupling their talents and musical
influences. The album which was executively produced by the duo,
released in August 2008 on independently set up label - Reloaded
Camp Records.
It features an array of talent including Lehmber Hussainpuri,
Pankaj Khanna, Bharat Goel, Manak-E, Tanvir Gogi, Nirmal Sidhu,
Miss Pooja, Billa Bakshi, Rebel Man, Kaka Bhainiawala, DJ Bola
and Jas Johal.The experience and engineering skills of
Kam Frantic and RDB were employed to give this
massive album an extra spark. Probably one of the highest budget
Bhangra albums ever, H and Rags have made major waves
on the worldwide desi scene with ‘Reloaded’. The album even
hit the number 1 spot in the Panjabi charts in India in just 6 days
of release.
The album infuses Bhangra melodies, from classic covers to
contemporary Asian beats. With a mix of H and Rags’
creative talents, the pair have provided some unique sounds and
styles on this offering which will score highly with fans and
critics. The album is filled with funky beats and intense energy,
taking you from the London to Panjab via the United Arab
Emirates.
A full-time professional DJ, H continues to perform every week in front of thousands of people, either with Calibar Roadshow or at gigs and events at the biggest nightclubs across the UK and abroad.
