In Brooklyn, NY, 1972, Simran Kaur Khalsa was one of the first 'Western' Sikh's born. She grew up in the Brooklyn Ashram, surrounded by Chanting, Bani's, Gurbani and music of all kinds! She heard the Khalsa Sting Band, who made regular visits to New York City and she heard Wah! making music and performing all the time. In 1980 she went to India and began to learn voice and harmonium, and on returning to the US she began studying Western voice. For the last 21 years in Los Angeles, her husband GuruPrem Singh and she have been playing music and singing whenever they are given the opportunity, they play every week at Guru Ram Das Ashram.
