Babbu Maan (born Tejinder Singh Maan on March 18, 1975) is a Punjabi folk singer, lyricist, composer and actor. Born in the village of Khant Maanpur in the Fatehgarh Sahib District of Punjab, India Babbu Maan has been very fond of playing music since his childhood, singing on stage for the first time during a school function in his village school at the age of seven. He would see everything through the eyes of a musician, even turning cooking pans into musical instruments as he created rhythmic sounds. He learned how to write lyrics, while at school (Panjab University, Chandigarh) when he was about 16. After college, he started singing and composing music. He sang for Mavi music recording studio and recorded his first album when he was only 23.
Career:
Maan debuted in 1998 with his album Sajjan Rumal De Gya. Unhappy with the album he went back to the drawing board and re-wrote many of the songs, many of which were re-released in his following albums.
Tu Meri Miss India, his second album was released in 1999 which was a moderate hit.
His third album Saaun Di Jhadi released in 2001 was a highly successful album; it sold over ten million copies in India alone and many more overseas.[citation needed] In 2003 Maan was selected as actor and Music Director for the movie Hawayein in which he worked alongside his favourite singer, Sukhwinder Singh. The movie was highly successful. It was followed by his album, Ohi Chann Ohi Rataan. This album also fared well, in both critical acclaim and sales.
In 2006 Maan started on his first playback movie called Rabb Ne Banayien Jodeian, with its songs scoring another success for Maan. His fifth album – Mera Gham was a highly successful Hindi album. It focused more on slow romantic and sad songs with a few up-beat songs. The song “Ek Raat/One Night Stand” shocked many listeners, but nevertheless, the song has a very catchy beat.
Maan starred in a New Year’s special called “Aao Saare Nachiye” which was also highly successful. Part 1 was released 2008 and Part 2 in 2009. Maan’s latest movie, Hashar… A love Story, was the biggest movie success yet in his career; the songs were also a hit. The success proved Mann has the energy, style & power to make glorious hits and be one of the best. His upcoming movie’s shooting going on in his Village Khant Maanpur and surrounding areas like Kharar, Mohali,etc. Some critics stated to the Govt. that his song named Ik Baba Nanak C should be baned but in a tv survey 80% of people supported Babbu Maan, 6% people supported Babe and 14% people said no comments and Punjab’s Youth and some Sikh Agencies supported Babbu Maan. At last Truth was in front of people…
