Bhai Gurmeet Singh Shant, who hails from Jalandhar is undoubtedly one of the leading young Ragis in the world of Gurmat Sangeet. Bhai Gurmeet Singh belongs to a long line of Ragis, who trace their musical roots all the way back to the times of the Gurus. Bhai Gurmeet Singh is an extremely hard working Ragi, who spends a tremendous amount of time in disciplined riyaz (practice). The resulting tayyari (musical adeptness) is a joy to behold.
