Punjab-born and Birmingham-based Malkit Singh is largely credited with introducing bhangra to a global audience. Singh was named a Member of the Order of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth II in 2008 and declared the world's bestselling bhangra artist by the Guinness Book of World Records in 2000—two honours that took years of dominating the scene to achieve. Singh's wildly grooving rhythms and playful singing make his songs truly bhangra bangers. Throw in his penchant for rap and pop, and you've got an innovator who's influenced millions.
