Khalids Profile:
I was born in Jagrawan Faisalabad, Pakistan. My family
moved from Jagrawan from Punjab, India after the
Partition. I had passion for singing at a very early age
of 12. I loved going to school functions and also tried
to get chance to sing on stage. I once attended a
wedding function in Faisalabad where Nazar Mohd was
performing, I manage to sneak on stage and with the
permission of Nazar Mohd I sang Nusrat Fateh Ali Khans –
Vaadan Vichre Sajan Dian Ayian. Nazar Mohd was really
impressed with my performance. I asked if he would teach
me, to my surprise and with a bit of persuasion he
accepted. From then on I started singing with Nazar Mohd
and continued singing for 2 years until I moved over to
the UK. Here in the UK the bhangra music industry it
huge and theres a lot of demand for it, when I moved
over here I immediately fell in love with Bhangra music.
From then I went on to join a Bhangra group called
Huddersfield Boys Bhangra Group and I was lucky enough
to become the lead singer, we performed in Pubs, Meleh
and weddings all around the country! The response was
amazing; from there I decided to work on an album. In
2005 I contacted and worked with some of the most
talented writers, working with Mangi Mahal, Neela
Bajuhewal, Dial Puri, Jagdeep, Rana Noor Pur Wala, Dev
Nakother Wala. The album has been produced by Bubs and
music by Aman Hayer. Lehngah is supported by 4 videos, 2
being made in Bombay and 2 in Chandighar. Lehngah will
be releasing in the UK mid July 2008.
