Mehar-Jot Singh

Mehar-Jot Singh is a 17-year-old Indian classical Tabla and Jori artist from the U.K. He is a dedicated student of the internationally renowned Ustaad Surdarshan Singh Chana, who he began learning from at the age of 6. Mehar-Jot Singh engages in weekly lessons and summer intensive retreats, both as a student and youth mentor, to support his practice as a growing musician.

Mehar-Jot's playing style draws heavily on the Benaras and Punjab Gharanas, learning an extensive repertoire of authentic compositions that have been passed down through the ages. With the blessings of his Ustaad, he has been fortunate enough to learn the Jori; an ancestral predecessor of the Tabla.

Academically, Mehar-Jot has embarked on his first year of A-Levels, studying Psychology, Philosophy and Economics. He hopes to work within the field of Business and Finance. Along with these career ambitions, he aspires to develop in his own artistry, while maintaining a grounding spiritual practice.
