Sonny Singh

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. For the last two decades, Singh gained renown as an original member of the band Red Baraat, performing on stages globally with his fiery trumpet and voice. He embarked on a solo career to explore bold new renderings of Sikh devotional music. 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…” (Bhanuj Kappal, 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” (Bruce Miller, PopMatters).
