ABOUT SONNY SINGH
I have over two decades of experience facilitating workshops and giving talks on anti-oppression, racial equity, and social justice issues. I regularly lead trainings for nonprofit organizations, activist groups, schools, and colleges/universities. My pedagogical approach centers reflection, honest dialogue, and critical systemic analysis. I am also a member of the training teams at the Center for Racial Justice in Education and Race Forward. In 2022, I released my first solo album entitled Chardi Kala, the Sikh concept of revolutionary eternal optimism. Gothamist calls it “utterly irresistable.” Live Mint says, “Singh has done that rarest of rare things as a musician—he has actually charted new ground, pushing the idea of South Asian fusion music down a new, previously unexplored side path.” Musically, the project embodies the many spiritual, political, and aesthetic elements that have shaped me: a bolero-mariachi Sikh shabad on one track, a qawwali song with a reggae bass line on another, a bombastic Ghadar Party tribute in Punjabi and Spanish on yet another. My live band, which includes harmonium, electric guitar, tabla, and dhol, provides listeners with an experience of both introspective reflection and fervent urgency. Notable shows with my new band thus far include: MASSMoCA, Brooklyn Academy of Music, Joe\'s Pub, Brooklyn Museum, Lotus World Music Festival, and the White House.
