Gurdas Maan Information Station

If you were to ask anyone about Punjabi music, the first person you would hear about is Gurdas Maan. After first gaining national attention in 1980 with the song “Dil Da Mamla”, he has moved from an unknown Punjabi singer and songwriter, to an international icon who has toured across the Globe.

“Dil Da Mamla” caught the attention of a Jalandhar TV station producer, who approached Gurdas Maan and asked if he would perform it live on television. Gurdas Maan reluctantly agreed to this performance, however after it was aired on the 31 December 1980 he became a national success and household name in India. This attracted the interest of the recording company HMV who asked Gurdas to record the song. Gurdas released his debut album in 1981 with HMV and it was a huge success.

Gurdas Maan was a breath of fresh air for the Punjabi music as the market was overcrowded with duet performers. Gurdas was approached with many offers to perform as a duet but he declined as he was confident he would become successful solo singer.  His 30-year career has been spectacular and Gurdas Maan has attained a level of success that has been unrivalled to date. 

Gurdas Maan is only one of a few artists from India who has the capability to sell out high capacity arenas such as the LG Arena (Birmingham) and Wembley Arena (London). His vibrant performance on stage is packed with energy and even to this very day Gurdas Maan gives a non stop 3 hour live show which mesmerises fans of all ages and backgrounds.

Having recorded over 27 albums, written over 200 songs and raised the profile of Punjabi music to an international level, he is recognised as the most influential and prolific Punjabi singer ever. This great achievement has lead Gurdas Maan to receive numerous honours and awards.  In 2010 Gurdas received an honorary degree in World Music from the University of Wolverhampton for his contribution to Punjabi music. 

Gurdas Maan is the world most recognised Punjabi singer ever and this had seen him perform all over the world including, USA, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Middle East, Europe and the UK. Following his phenomenal and sell out UK tours in 2005, 2007 and 2009, Gurdas Maan will be returning to the UK in 2011 for his “Dil Da Mamla Tour”.
This tour is set to be his most enthralling and extravagant to date, including a very special two night performance at the Royal Albert Hall, London, a venue which is home to the some of the greatest entertainers in the world.
