Talvin Singh OBE (born 1970) is an English musician, producer, and composer. A tabla player, he is known for creating an innovative fusion of Indian classical music with drum and bass. Singh is generally considered involved with an electronica subgenre called Asian Underground, and more recently as Indian and/or Asian electronica.
On 21 August 2011 he married Calcutta-born, now Bangalore-based Jasmeen Patheja in Gurdwara Jagat Sudhar on Rashbehari Avenue.[2][3][4]
After collaborating with Siouxsie and the Banshees and Björk in the early 1990s, Singh released his debut album Ok (1998), which received the Mercury Music Prize in 1999.[5]
Singh has since collaborated with a variety of acts including Madonna and Massive Attack.
