Kamalbir Singh is a multi-talented, Sheffield-based critically-acclaimed violinist, ghazal singer and teacher. Kamalbir learnt classical music from his father, Raghbir Singh, from early childhood. He later went to learn violin from Pandit N.L. Nathan and thereafter from Sarangi Nawaz Ustad Nazar Hussain and Pandit Ram Narayan ji.

He became interested in singing Ghazals when he was inspired by Jagjit Singh in 1974 on Radio. Following his deep interest towards Ghazals he came in touch with Jagjit Singh in 2003 who guided him thereafter.

As the violin was his first passion and he carried on playing violin in various concerts in India, Germany, Holland and England including Tansen Sangeet Samaroh in Gwalior followed by prestigious appearances at the Royal Albert Hall, Royal Festival Hall, Barbican Centre, WDR Philharmonic Orchestra in Cologne, Germany and many other venues and as both as soloist and as an accompanist to many artists like Anup Jalota and Ustad Ghulam Mustafa Khan.
