| H Dhami |
|
Born literally with a mic in his hand, H was performing in the shadow of his father, Palvinder Dhami of Heera, from the tender age of six and it was inevitable that he was to become a major driving force on the UK Bhangra scene. His 2008 debut album Sadke Java reached No.1 in all the Asian charts. In March 2008, H picked up the award for ‘Best Newcomer’ at the prestigious B4U UK Asian Music Awards (AMAs). With a magnetic stage presence, H has left a blazing trail, spreading not only his but also his charm. The boy who once followed his father is now undoubtedly living the dream.
