Dil Apna Punjabi

This Punjabi Munda is basically a Delhiite. His original roots are from Gidderbaha, which is also the hometown of the well known Punjabi folk singer Gurdass Mann. A trained singer and an accomplished artist, Ashok Mastie steals a march on the other singers by being a live wire on stage and has already a large fan base all over India as well as abroad.

Ashok Mastie stands apart in the world of Indipop stars that depend solely in their videos to carry them to fame. He too started with his Punjabi debut album ‘Munde Vikao Ne’ which was a notable release. Last year, he shot to fame with his solo album release ‘Ye Hai Mastie' by Times Music.

Opportunities came and went by , but the big break came when Times Music approached him. Ashok Mastie (aka Mastie), popular number ‘Wah Bhai Wah’ from his solo album ‘Ye hai Mastie’ from Times Music, has rendered a rhythmic, skipping song that lends itself to instant snapping fingers and perhaps a well timed leap onto the dance floor. His songs have variations from classical to traditional Punjabi to folk songs. He feels,” My songs are different and they are loved by my fans. I always try to give the best in each of my songs. With those typical Punjabi folk songs I have tried to render different flavors of life in Punjab. "

Invited regularly for performances abroad -- in Canada, USA, Dubai, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi. Mastie is so versatile--- switching instantly from traditional Punjabi folk music to Hindi Pop songs to suit the moods and cultural background of his audiences.

Apart from looking after the lights and Bhangra props, Mastie also acted in the plays and traveled a lot all over Punjab.He had few playback songs for Bollywood, an award winning regional film Laddo- a Haryanvi movie, includes the Sufiana song “Deewane hi Deewane”.
