Bio

Brooklyn-based Sonny Singh is celebrated for bold and joyous musical innovation. Introspective and urgent, spiritual and rebellious, Sonny Singh’s music channels ancestral wisdom for our time—a clarion call to love, devotion, and courage in dark times. In 2022, he released his solo debut Chardi Kala to critical acclaim: “Singh has done that rarest of rare things as a musician—he has actually charted new ground…” (Live Mint). His album carved out a new space in the landscape of South Asian and spiritual music: “This is Indian devotional music as Western pop with a trumpet as a driving force. To hear it is to realize there’s not much else like it anywhere” (PopMatters). With his second album Sage Warrior, Singh ushers us into altogether new experiences of the sacred through music in an album created alongside author and civil rights leader Valarie Kaur’s book Sage Warrior.

Sonny’s band has performed his music at the Lincoln Center, Brooklyn Museum, MASSMoCA, Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM), the Lotus World Music Festival, Hamptons Jazz Festival, and The White House (in April 2023).
