NeiL Sengupta is born & brought up in Sydney and currently studies full-time at University of New South Wales. In 2008, he was selected in the 'Top 24' of India's famous Zee TV 'Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge 2009' after surpassing more than 10 different audition rounds (taking place across Kolkata & Mumbai). NeiL became the first person ever to represent Australia in "Sa Re Ga Ma Pa" history, and was also the only successful contestant of foreign origin to audition for the program in India (alongside local hopefuls). 

 

As a result of this success, in 2008, NeiL was chosen to sing his first solo playback song: 'Aap Jo Mil Gaye' - the title track to the hindi film 'Najuk Rishtey'. The film was subsequently released around the world - premiering in Sydney on March 2009 to local & international acclaim. 

 

NeiL regularly performs around Australia & Sydney in various events, and most recently completed his first "Live Solo Concert" - which was a sellout and a great success. He has also shared the stage with Bollywood superstars such as Daler Mehndi (Sydney Olympic Park, August 2009) & RDB (Sydney, October 2009). NeiL has also appeared as a winning participant on Australian TV game shows such as "Wheel Of Fortune" & "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire". 

When it comes to Indian / Bollywood music, NeiL is looking to scale even greater heights with years to come.

 Harish Singer, MC Host - Australia

Music is in my blood. Ever since I was a little kid I grew up around music, and I come from a musically talented family. My grandfather was a famous music director in the Indian film industry, my father was a musician/singer, and almost all of my family has some sort of musical talent. Therefore, growing up around famous artists and people in my family with a strong passion for music inspired me to sing and explore my own vocal talents. From performing for school events as a young kid, to then making my mark on various university events/parties in Sydney as a singer & MC, I have taken every opportunity to showcase my talent both locally and overseas, and continue to do so. I enjoy a variety of music and can adapt to various styles/genres. 

My singing styles include: R&B/Soul, Rap/Hip-hop, and also Hindi / Bollywood / Bhangra. Depending on the occasion, I can perform both as a Singer or MC for various events/parties/nightclubs.  

Each Soul has its unique form of expression. This is the sound of my soul, the music of my mind, and the rhythm of my heart.

Jaskurn Gosal is a Punjabi lad from Brisbane (Australia) whos passion for music developed over the course of his teenage years where he started to establish which opportunities lay ahead of him, having overcome a few obstacles, he realized that music was something he wanted to take up. He began experimenting with tracks and creating mixes, fusing different sounds together to make a new sound.

His ability to remix saw a turning point with a major record label recognising one of his remixes of Gippy Grewal's ‘Phulkari’ which ended up on the mainstream compilation album ‘Planet Bhangra’.

 

In 2002 Jaskurn joined the Brisbane based DJ group, ‘Bhangranights’. Together, they toured all over Australia and performed live at many clubs and private functions. This step also saw him tour New Zealand and also perform in the famous Decibel night club in Delhi (India).

Jaskurn had the skills to implement his production with instruments like the Dhol and Tumbi. Having learnt all his percussion from his ustaad, Gurbinder Guraya, he was determined to learn his favourite instrument, the ‘tumbi’.
