Surdarshan Chana
Surdarshan Singh (Sunny) is a young, masterful Tabla & Jori player who started learning music
at the tender age of 4. He started learning Jori-Pakhawaj and tabla from Punjab Grandmaster
Ajit Singh Matlashi and then went on to learn
from Ustad Gurmeet Singh Virdee.
After receiving a solid foundation and feel of
the Punjab Gharana and its various Pakhawaj
styles, Surdarshan went on to learn from the
legendary Shiri Sukhvinder Singh Namdhari
for 14 years. He vigorously learned and
practiced the fierce Benares Gharana style of
tabla, while keeping his Punjabi Baaj of Jori-
Pakhawaj very much alive.
Surdarshan Singh received his degree in
Classical Music and is now an enthralling
soloist. He performs nationally and
internationally accompanying maestros of
international repute across the globe.
He is also one of the leading accompanists
and soloists in the UK.
He has students all over
the world and is invited
to play at some of the
biggest Indian classical
music festivals around
the globe.
He was recently invited to
play at the Buckingham
Palace to play a very rare
percussive instrument
called jori in the queens music room.
