Bombay Jayashri recovering well after health setback

Few artists embody both heritage and evolution quite like Mona Singh. Born into the musical dynasty of Channi Singh OBE — the visionary behind the iconic bhangra band Alaap — Mona grew up surrounded by melody, rhythm and the energy of live performance. Onstage from the age of six and later crowned the ‘princess of British bhangra’, she has carved out a remarkable career marked by hit albums, international tours, chart-topping collaborations, and genre-defining artistry. She also broke ground for females in the British Punjabi music industry.

In this candid conversation, Mona looks back at the milestones that shaped her — from singing on Top of the Pops and performing at 10 Downing Street, to creating globally loved Punjabi anthems. She also shares the lessons learned from her legendary father, the pressures of today’s content-driven music landscape, and what fans can expect next as she embarks on a new creative chapter.
