Dil Apna Punjabi

Bally Sagoo is a musician and DJ who was born in Ludhiana, Punjab, India but grew up in Birmingham, England, in a predominantly Black neighbourhood, influenced by disco, rap and Motown music. He gained success as a DJ in the club scene and broke into music by revamping old Bollywood hits and fusing them with hip hop. ','

He is widely credited as one of the original pioneers of what is now modern Indian music, and for triggering the explosion of modern Bhangra pop music (although his music was and is more a fusion of Western dance and hip hop with existing Indian music). This is specifically in his 1994 album Bollywood Flashback, followed up with Rising From The East in 1996.

On an international scale, his most famous work features prominently in Gurinder Chadha's film Bend It Like Beckham. He worked together with Amitabh Bachchan and produced Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's album "Magic Touch".
