Darshan Singh

In year 1933 at District Hoshiarpur, Giani Darshan Singh Sohal Ji was born into a family sensitised to the charm of Indian Classical Music. Music was first introduced into the family by his grandfather, Sant Karam Singh. Giani Ji's father, Sant Surain Singh, who was a highly regarded scholar of the ‘Vedas' and Gurbani, carried on the tradition and became a disciple of the Gurbani Kirtan legend Bhai Samund Singh from whom he learnt both Kirtan and Mridang.

Giani Darshan Singh Sohal Ji's own musical training commenced at a very early age under the instruction of his uncle Sardar Chanchal Singh, who was a student of the Lucknow School of Music. Later, Giani Darshan Singh was graced by the great Shri Almast ji who elevated him to a more profound and spiritual realm of music.

Shri Almast ji belonged to the most authentic Indian traditional school of classical music – ‘Gawalior Ghrana.' He held Giani Ji in very high esteem and referred to him as his favourite disciple. Over a period of 17 years, Sri Almast Ji bestowed upon Giani Ji a great treasure of music full of exquisite and peerless compositions bursting with lucid and ageless expression.
