Vancouver - Indian Music Artist Capital - Part 1

Vancouver has and will always be the capital of Indian Music of the world. I can say this with my foot down for sure. Vancouver is well known for breeding and bringing up artists that give it their all in the Indian Music industry. The west coast bornes the artists that Indian Music needs and has always loathed.

Of the most famous one of these artists is Jazzy Bains (Jazzy B.) His first album was released in 1993 titled Ghugian Da Jhora. This was an instant chart topper and paved the way for Jazzy's amazingly successful career. The music man, Sukshinder Shinda has produced all of his albums to date thus far. His last album, Romeo set sales records worldwide and the recently titled album Rambo will do the same. Jazzy Bains now lives worldwide, literally... He is a citizen of Canada, India, and the United Kingdom. Kuriyan Ne Naa Tera Rakheya...Rambo...Rambo!!!

Another famous artist hailing from Vancouver is Manmohan Waris. His first album was released in 1993 as well, titled Gairaan Naal Peengha Jhootdiye. Manmohan Waris and his younger brother, Kamal Heer, along with their eldest brother Sangtar Heer are a team wreckoned with. All music and vocal tracks etc is done all in house in their own family. Manmohan Waris is also known as Punjab's Son (Respect!)
