Manmohan Waris

Manmohan Waris is one of the top Punjabi singers in the world. Since he released his first album "Gairan Naal Peenghan Jhootdeye', he has never looked back. His voice is considered one of the sweetest around and his songs attest to his passion for clean and literary lyrics. So far Waris has released 17 albums. He was born into a farming family in the Village of Halluwal, Punjab. He had a great interest in music since an early age. He started his formal music training at the age of 11. Everything he learned from his Guru, he taught his younger brothers. So all three brothers got seriously involved in music at a very early age. He got his music degree from Punjab University. But the most influential music Guru he had was Shree Jaswant Singh Bhanwra. Unlike many other Punjabi singers who also learned music from Shree Jaswant Singh Bhnawra, the Guru did not teach him so called "Lok-Gaayiki", he insisted on teaching him the real music he knew himself. He saw a great singer in Manmohan and he wanted him to shine. In 1990, Manmohan Waris's family moved to Canada. Here he made his first album 'Gairan Naal Peenghan Jhootdeye.' The album was a great success and when Waris returned to Punjab, Punjabi's everywhere just couldn't get enough of him. So he decided to move back to India. Manmohan's songs are evergreen songs. People remember his earliest work same way as they do his latest. Manmohan's latest Punjabi Album is titled "Nachiye Majajne". The title song "Aja Appan Nachiye Majajne" with its Desi music and Dhole rhythms is a milestone on the future path of Punjabi music. Also the success of 'Punjabi Virsa.' another song from this album proves that there is still room for literary and meaningful poetry in the fast paced, single based commercial Punjabi music world.
