Bio

DJ H started DJing in his early teens. He started off by joining other DJs at gigs and events, carrying equipment, helping set up and doing anything that would give him exposure and build his experience. Once H had mastered the basics, he searched for his own style of DJing which would separate him from others. He practiced relentlessly to perfect his skills; experimenting with classic urban flavours and slices of Desi beats. It wasn’t long before he was DJ'ing in Londons biggest nightclubs alongside big names such as Trevor Nelson, Tim Westwood and Bhangra acts such as RDB, Jazzy B and Malkit Singh.

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.

With four chart topping releases from the album - 'Aaja, Aaja', 'Mar Javan', 'Jawani' and 'Char Panj' , there's still more to come with the release of ' Peeniya'. DJ H has been super busy on the music scene and has also transferred his attention to TV with the production of 'Nightshift' on Brit Asia TV.

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.
