JK
 JK,
real name Jatinder was born and raised in Derby. JK
began training to be a vocalist under the tuition of
Sukhjit Singh Olk, aka Tru-Skool,
Coming from a family oriented background, JK’s
traditional upbringing in a Panjabi household enabled
him to maintain a deep connection with his roots and
have the ability to speak impeccable Panjabi - a rare
quality in most UK born Panjabi's and many vocalists
alike. JK in a number of cases has been mistaken for
being born and raised in Panjab.
Being part of a close circle of students/friends, JK
also learns the Harmonium and has been doing so under
the direction of Tru-Skool since 2000.
Although these days it may sound cliché, JK's influences
include the greats such as Kuldip Manak, Surinder Shinda,
Sardool Sikander, Chamkila and Mohd. Saddiq.
JK aspires to progress in this field to sing like his UK
inspirations such as Jazzy B, Bhinda Jatt, Avtar Maniac,
Meshi, Balwinder Safri and Dippa Dosanjh, the quality of
JK's vocals demonstrate this.
Aside from his association with Tru-Skool, JK, since
2003 has been learning the art of classical singing
under the guidance of Pritam Singh, a revered
professional of his craft and a world class Tabla
player. JK's furtherance into the world of classical
music has been inspired by the greats such as Nusrat
Fateh Ali Khan and Ghulam Ali.
JK will continue in the live circuit and a debut album
is currently being prepared for release by VIP Records,
with JK providing all vocals and even showcasing his
ability as a song-writer.
