Singh grew up in Leytonstone and began playing the tabla, Breakdancing and listening to Punk Rock as a child. At the age of 15, Singh went to India where he studied tabla under Pandit Lashman Singh , but he returned to the UK after just one year. In spite of this classical training, Singh's tabla playing was not accepted by British promoters of Classical Indian Music , as he incorporated too strongly his western influences. By the late 1980s , Singh had decided to turn towards the fusion of sounds, and soon he began working as a musician with such artists as the Indigo Girls , David Sylvian , Siouxsie & The Banshees , Sun Ra , Björk , Massive Attack and the Future Sound Of London . In late 1995 , Singh founded the Anokha club night at East London's Blue Note, where drum'n'bass DJs and South Asian punk bands went head to head with the amped-up sounds of his tabla and percussion. Guest spots by LTJ Bukem and others made Anokha a Monday-night hotspot in London, and Singh signed to Island for an Anokha compilation including several of his own productions. He worked as a remixer until releasing his solo debut, ''OK'', in 1998 . The album won him the Mercury Music Prize for 1999 . RECORDED WORK Solo Albums Collaborations & original contibutions
