USA based Gunjan Singh, Or As i Like To Call Her Gunjan Didi, was born and brought up in Delhi, India. She was destined to become a Singer. Her name given to her at birth already had a musical note to it, which means ‘Musical Echo’. At the age of 3, her nursery teachers and others who heard her singing all the time, told her mother that Gunjan would be a famous singer one day.

Her mother, who also had interest and experience in singing was a great influence and encouraged Gunjan to take classical training by the very best.
At the age of four, she made her debut performance for her Kindergarten School. From then on her popularity grew and she began singing on Radio/TV. Music producers became interested in her talent, she went on to record Children’s Nursery Rhymes, Religious Songs, and Commercials.

As her popularity grew so did her collection of awards. The ‘All India (National) Award’ for best Vocalist, was given to Gunjan for three consecutive years. Gunjan has shared the stage with some of the big names in the Indian Music Industry such as Lakshmikant Pyarelal, Ravindra Jain, Anuradha Paudwal, Sonu Nigam and Subha Mudgal.

But her career was not heading in the direction she wanted it to. Gunjan knew she had talent and she just needed a break. That break was to come with a demo she sent to Ishq Records owned by the International Recording artist Bally Sagoo.

Gunjan was immediately flown to the UK for an audition to vocalise for an album which Bally Sagoo was working on called ‘Bollywood Flashback 2’.
