Gurdas Maan -
It's the story of many a men, but this one dared
to follow his dreams. And looking at us now nothing but reality
.He was born to, S.Gurdev Singh and Tej Kaur, in a village by
the name of Giddarbaha, in distt. Faridkot in Punjab. His date
of birth is 4th January, 1957, but as he says, "Dil Hona
Chahida Jawan, Umaranch Ki Rakhiya.... I actually live up to
this sentence."
He
went through the normal drill of being educated in Malout. The
one thing with him even in those days was his singing! After
the basics were over, his parents thought it best to shift him
to Patiala city for further studies. The National Sports Institute
was there and Gurdas Maan joined up to finish his masters in
physical education. At the point he was all set to be a sports
coach!!! He took part in many athletic events and won himself
a couple of medals .He also happens to be a black belt holder
in judo.
He
got to show off his talents in plenty of youth festivals, that
were organized by various universities. And talent indeed, because
it was here that he started winning award for his work in singing
and acting. On completion of his masters degree, he started
looking around for a job.
But
in the meanwhile, keeping the creativity channel in him open,
he continued to write as well as do stage plays. Having arrived
on the music scene more than two decades ago and still holding
on to his seat, the credit of taking Punjabi music from a regional
level to national and then on to the international level absolutely
goes to Gurdas Maan !!!
