The leading contemporary performer of Sikh ‘Kirtan’ music,
Manika Kaur continues to be the fastest selling and most popular contemporary Sikh solo artist in the world. As the very first person to place Kirtan in the European World Music Charts and views of her videos running in to the many millions, Manika’s music has not only received overwhelming praise from the global Sikh community, but has also transcended and touched the souls of music lovers from all walks of life throughout the world. Now with EK (April 16, 2021, Six Degrees Records), Manika Kaur is set to expand on this further, gaining even larger audiences and spreading the word of both her music and charitable endeavours far and wide.

Her videos have been shared by millions and her albums sell by the thousand, but world music star Manika Kaur can walk down her Highgate street unrecognised.
The mum-of-three s records are familiar to devotees of yoga and the Sikh faith, but she hopes her unique, niche music will reach a wider audience this year.
Her new album EK (meaning oneness ) released on April 16 will be entered for a Grammy by record company Six Degrees after Kaur became the first artist to bring Kirtan music to European world music charts.
