Sukhvinder Singh “Pinky” is one of India’s most dynamic percussionists who is recognized worldwide for his unique style of playing, technical prowess and stage presence.
Hailing from the holy village of Sri Bhaini Sahib (Ludhiana, Punjab), Sukhvinder excelled from a young age beginning his musical journey playing the Dholak and Jorhi in the Namdhari Sangeet tradition.
At the tender age of 5, he became a disciple of Jorhi Samrath, Ustad Nihal Singh who himself was a student of Bhai Nasira hailing from the Rababi tradition and a leading exponent of the Punjab Gharana. Soon after, Sukhvinder left for Varanasi where he spent many years with Pt. Kishan Maharaj in Seva and Riyaz.
Through his spontaneity, power, virtuosity and above all his inimitable ability to captivate the audience, Sukhvinder became one of the most sought after accompanists leading him to travel extensively across India, Europe and the USA with leading artists such as Ustad Vilayat Khan and Ustad Amjad Ali Khan.
