Sukhvinder Singh Pinky is one of India’s most dynamic percussionists. Hailing from the holy village of Sri Bhaini Sahib (Ludhiana, Punjab), Sukhvinder excelled from a young age, beginning his musical journey playing the Dholak and Jorhi in the Namdhari Sangeet tradition at the age of five. Aged thirteen, Sukhvinder gave his first major public performance and soon after left for Varanasi where he spent eigtheen years in Seva (selfless service) and Riyaz (intense training practice in tabla). It was during this period that the great Pt. Kishan Maharaj gave him meticulous attention and tabla tutelage. Through his spontaneity, power, virtuosity and above all his inimitable ability to captivate his audiences, Sukhvinder has become one of the most sought-after accompanists, and has travelled extensively across India, Europe and the USA with leading artists such as Pt. Ravi Shankar, Ustad Vilayat Khan and Ustad Amjad Ali Khan. He has received a Grammy award and performed with major orchestras including the BBC Philharmonic. His jorhi performances have led to a meteoric rise in respect and appreciation for the rare art of jorhi playing, and he is proclaimed to be the foremost exponent of the jorhi worldwide.
