Information:
GSChaggar is a twenty-six year old
turntablist/ music producer from the Midlands, UK.
Having played the dhol in bands for many years, he
decided in 2004 he would turn his attention on becoming
a music producer... Thanks to his talent of the dhol and
turntablism, GSChaggar connected with audiences with the
very first listen.
A Dj/Turntablist of instinct, GSChaggar has a flair for
mixing catchy songs that leave the listener moved by the
raw emotion in them. Although his roots are firmly
placed in traditional UK Panjabi music, he draws
inspiration from many different lyrical and musical
influences. "My style is my own..I can produce songs,
mix songs and can say that’s my own style".
It is that versality that has landed his song with
Master Saleem “Chardi Jawani” that is surely giving him
the recognition that it deserves.
Music is not a new passion for GSChaggar however: after
learning the dhol for 3 years, GSChaggar started working
with songs at the tender age of 12: "I used play
keyboards round school and everything that made a sound
around the house until I eventually picked up the dhol
at 14!", he says jokingly. But it wasn't until joining
local band “Notorious Dhol Gangsters” at 17 as dholi and
bhangra dancer, that he decided to make music his life
passion. For the next several years however, life took
him through many travels around the world, from the UK,
to India.
The biggest journey was music. Music, truth be told, was
never far from his mind. "I always knew it was a matter
of time until I started to show interest to music, even
though my experience within the music industry had me at
boiling point on several occasions. The only thing that
kept me going was the drive from all the experiences and
failures within my life, encouraging me to continue.”
Now GSChaggar - is sharing his time between djing and
producing his next future ventures and spending plenty
of time in the studio working on new material to publish
in the near future.
Based on the reception of his latest compositions, the
future looks promising for GSChaggar
