Jugpreet Bajwa

(Artist-In-Residence)

My musical journey began at the age of five which evolved into a lifelong passion despite facing the adversity of Eye Cancer, to which I lost both my eyes. With a degree in Indian Classical Music and a Diploma in Western Classical Music, I’ve received guidance from renowned mentors across diverse musical genres and can sing in 16 languages. My accomplishments include triumphs in international singing contests besides performing in over 1000 shows globally and judging musical competitions.

Beyond music, I’m deeply engaged in philanthropic efforts, advocating for topics such as disabilities and mental health. I’ve represented Canada at FICCI Frames in India, received honours like the Darpan Awards for Breaking Barriers, the Drishti Award for Innovation in Arts, and the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal. Release of numerous albums and singles in various genres and languages reflect my life’s mission: spreading love and peace through music globally.
