Harmeet Singh here, people call me Sardarji, Mumbai is home. My turban, my tabla – both close to my heart. Learnt from the best at Ustad Allarakha Institute, my Guru Ustad Fazal Qureshi ji, and inspired by legends like Zakir Hussain ji. From quiet baithaks to filmi studios, I just chase that perfect 'sam' with fellow musicians. Life’s simple – chai, travel, and the rhythm that never leaves. ### My work - **Tabla & Percussion for Any Occasion**: I play tabla and other percussion for live classical gigs, private baithaks, fusion, and studio tabla recordings. - **Rooted in Tradition, Open to Fusion**: My style is pure Punjab Gharana but I love mixing it up, from classical to Punjabi tabla fusion with artists of all kinds. - **Collaboration is Key**: I’m all about the vibe – if you respect music, we’ll click. 'Simple si cheez hai... just follow the beat.' - **Music with Heart**: Whether it’s tabla for film music or a small baithak, I give my all – every note, every time.
