Few years ago, when Gurpreet Singh Guri passed his matriculation exams, his family asked him to continue with academics. He simply refused it by saying ‘it is not my
cup of tea.’ When he waved Goodbye to school, he decided to make a career in
Punjabi music industry. It was that time when he sobriquet himself G Guri. He
started playing a dilapidated harmonium provided by school without having
appropriate skills to operate it. After spending some years at home trying to
learn harmonium himself, he went to Ustad Soma Khan Ji at
There was a time when he decided to leave all this because
of seeing no light at the end of the tunnel. Lack of family support was the
major reason behind this. But suddenly things started working for him; he got
his first break as a music director. He composed the music for Yuvraj Singh's
album ‘Udariya’. Udariya album proved turning point for Guri. Udariya was a
major hit in Punjabi music industry at that time.
Within a period of few years, Guri started getting a good
response from Punjabi music listeners through calls and messages. Many noted
music-directors from Punjab started
approaching him. He worked on several projects with accomplished singers and also
with emerging artists.
The peak time for Guri’s musical career was when he launched
Jassi Gill’s (now a famous Punjabi singer) first album ‘Batchmate'. Bachmate’s song ‘Chudiya’ broke all the
records in Punjab with its heart-touching
music composed by Guri. Chudiya was the song, everyone was crooning. With this album,
Guri succeeded to establish himself as a versatile and talented music-director.
Meanwhile, Guri had a lot on his plate. Guri’s family
accepted his passion and profession. Jassi Gill and G Guri’s hard work gave
them a platform in Punjabi music industry. After some time, The Hit Jodi, G
Guri and Jassi Gill came up with another album ‘Batchmate -2’. This time song
‘Lancer’ and ‘Teri j na hoi’ made people murmuring the lines. These both songs
were nominated in distinct categories in PTC Punjabi Music Awards 2012.
Now, G guri has a proper working team of his friends with
him. This team includes Hart Mankoo who is a Punjabi Rapper and singer, Jyot
Kalirao, a video director and Laddi Patti a song writer. This team also handles
the promotional campaigns of G Guri. G Guri is currently working with many new
singers and some troupers of the industry too. These days, he is busy in making
the sequels of some of his hit songs such as; Chudiya, Vigde shraabi, lancer.
Guri has several plans for future as such organizing a
singing competition to give chance to new voices in Punjab .
He is all set with his newly built studio in Khanna. He named his studio
‘G-Star’.

Guri is standing above the salt now because of his passion
to set a benchmark. Giving a message to his fans Guri said, “The only message I
would like to give to my fans is that please help us to stop piracy and buy
original CDs, and coerce the government to pass some hard laws to stop piracy
in state.”
Being Guri’s Fan Like thousands of Punjabis, I am waiting
for his new music as well and I wish may all the emerging singers or music
directors could get the chance to refine them under G Guri.
