Starting at the tender age of four, Jagjit Singh began learning to play tabla first from his older cousin and then Ustad Sushil Kumar.



In 1993, Jagjit Singh was accepted as a student by the renowned late Ustad Alla Rakha Khan, and later studied under Ustad Zakir Hussain, son of Khan - both giants in Indian classical music.



Since settling in Canada in 2000, Jagjit Singh has expanded his studies into western music styles and has had the opportunity to work with many famous artists from India and Canada.



In October 2007 Jagjit Singh attempted to set a new world record for the longest drumming marathon by playing a pair of hand drums for five days. His world record was recognized in December 2008.
