INTERESTING BACKGROUND INFORMATION

Satinder Sartaaj, an Indian singer, songwriter, poet, and actor, has carved a unique niche for himself in the realm of Punjabi music. His journey began to resonate with audiences after the release of “Sai,” a track from his 2010 album “Sartaaj.” This song catapulted him into the limelight and marked his ascent as a prominent figure in the Punjabi music industry. Sartaaj, distinguished by his academic prowess, holds a doctorate in Sufi music, making him one of the highly qualified artists in the field. Born into a middle-class farming family in Bajrawar, Hoshiarpur, he was surrounded by the rich cultural tapestry of Punjab, which would later influence his musical career.

From an early age, Sartaaj was captivated by the melodious sounds of wandering artists playing the sarangi and flute. By the time he reached the third grade, he was already performing at Baal-Sabhas, showcasing his budding talent. His academic journey took him to Panjab University in Chandigarh, where he pursued his PhD. It was during this time that he met Gauri, a fellow PhD student in Environmental Studies. Their shared academic interests blossomed into love, leading to a marriage celebrated with Sikh rituals. While at university, Sartaaj excelled in various Punjab Heritage Foundation competitions and earned accolades, including a second-place finish in the 24th All-India Light Vocal Festival. His talents captured the attention of many, including political figures, as he received an award from Sushma Swaraj during his college days.

Sartaaj’s passion for music extended beyond performing; he also dedicated approximately six years to teaching at the Music Faculty of Punjab University after earning certificates in the Persian language. His foray into the public eye continued when he participated in the singing reality show “Zee TV Antakshari,” where he was lauded for his folk category performances. In 2003, he appeared in a documentary on the life of Sayyad Waris Shah, further solidifying his connection to Punjabi culture. His international breakthrough came in 2008 when he performed at a gig in Toronto, Ontario, after being discovered on YouTube. Though his debut album “Tere Qurbaan” released in 2009 went unnoticed, it laid the groundwork for his subsequent success.

The turning point in Sartaaj’s career arrived in 2010 with the release of his album “Sartaaj,” which included popular tracks like “Nikki Jehi Kuri” and “Filhaal Hawavan.” However, it was “Sai” that became a signature song, endearing him to fans. His follow-up albums, including “Cheerey Wala Sartaaj” in 2011 and subsequent hits like “Zikr Tera” (2014) and “Sajjan Raazi” (2016), further established his musical legacy. Sartaaj’s versatility also led him to explore acting; he portrayed Maharaja Duleep Singh in the film “The Black Prince” (2017), a portrayal that resonated with audiences globally. His film debut in “Ikko Mikke” showcased his talent as a sculptor, leading to further roles, including in the 2023 film “Kali Jotta.”

Beyond his artistic endeavors, Sartaaj is deeply committed to philanthropy and cultural advocacy. He founded the Sartaaj Foundation to support talented youth in arts and education and actively engages in charitable initiatives, such as donating Rs. 11 lakhs to flood victims in Punjab. His dedication to preserving and promoting Punjabi culture has earned him recognition as a savior of the Gurmukhi language and traditions. Sartaaj, who is well-versed in various musical instruments and has a recording studio named ‘Nazm Gaah’ at home, credits his success to the nurturing environment of Panjab University, where many of his songs were inspired by everyday experiences. A proud ambassador of Panjab University since 2017, he continues to inspire future generations through his music and philanthropic efforts.
