Bhai Baldeep Singh

Mr. Singh descends from a long tradition of masters of the Gurbani Kirtan maryada, and today is the 13th generation exponent of this hallowed tradition. In 1989 he renounced a promising career in aviation, choosing instead to devote himself to the study of the highly evolved and complex heritage of Gurbani Kirtan. As Founder of THE ANAD FOUNDATION and Managing Director of ANAD RECORDS Private Limited, Bhai Baldeep Singh has been very active in the contemporary Indian cultural scene, by producing and publishing recordings of rare Indian musical instruments and contributing to the interreligious and inter-cultural exchange organizing musical festivals and lectures. His commitment to the preservation of the traditional kirtan maryada has been a model and an inspiration not only for his contemporaries, but also for the elder exponents of various kirtan schools.
