Biba - just coming out with her first album

About Biba Singer: - “Biba” is a doctor and a singer just coming out with her first album in India. She 28 and believe in living life to the fullest, because everyone only live it once.


Biba started singing at the age of 7. Her first exposure was through the Gurudwara and singing shbads. Being born and brought up in USA, Her parent's kept her connected to the Indian culture and roots. Over the years, she participated in multiple cultural programs, and would sing shbads in the Gurudwara. The encouragement, love and motivation she has received kept her going and she continued to sing in free time. Biba had many different teachers for music, but the only constant was her mother who herself is not a singer, but would continue to motivate Biba. A few important people that helped her through the years with music include: Pinky Paras, Jatinder Paras, Vijay Wadhwa, Savita Ahuja, and of course dear Daler Mehndi , Nikki Mehndi and Mika, whom she have known for years, and are dear childhood friends. They constantly guided and motivated her as well.

As the eldest child of three, Biba’s parents always kept a focus on education. Her father, being a doctor, always wished that she would follow his footsteps. During her childhood years, she would continue to work hard and focus on education, studying, and on the side, in her free time, she would continue to sing, and follow her passion. While Biba was in high school, she began to learn Hindustani classical music, but due to rigorous studies, had to put it on hold. However, that passion for music never stopped. At the age of 21, she vividly remembers Daler Veerji telling her parents that she should do an album because "this was the time and the age". At that same time, Biba had gotten admission into medical school in New York, and her parents, who were always very supportive, guided Biba to continue her education and first "become a doctor". However, they helped her and came out with a shbad/gurbani album called "Desire for Truth-Saachi Baani", and recorded it locally in NY with the guide of Ustaad Taari khan. But at that time, she did not go to India to do a "pop album" as Daler Veerji had recommended, due to her education.

Biba went on to medical school, and finished Her MBBS, and now she’s in final year of residency, which is equivalent to an MD in India. She learned that being a doctor and a singer has helped her grow as a better human being.

Biba never realized that doing an album required so much hardwork and effort. However, this year was the happiest year of her life. She kept visualizing, dreaming, and seeing myself pursuing her passion. she continued to thank God for all the blessings in her life, and also continued to study and pursue her MD. Now finally the time has come that the album will be released. She hopes, pray and dreams that people will enjoy, and love it, and continue to support her.
