His ability to fuse different cultural sounds can be heard on his debut single, WE ARE THE KHALSA with the rhythm clearly capturing the authentic sounds of the REGGAE/SIKH BHANGRA cultures, his wailing sounds is reminiscent of reggaes greatest artists like BOB MARLEY, PETER TOSH, BUNNY WAILER, AUGUSTUS PABLO, and with his spiritual philosophy there is no doubt that KHALSA PALAY will be a major part in spreading the SIKH gospel, and open up a new chapter in ASIAN MUSIC.

‘Reggae Steady Go’ – a reggae album from the 70’s, could not have had a more appropriate and meaningful title as it got Khalsa Palay hooked on reggae music. Witnessing Bob Marley’s ‘Lyceum’ gig was a major turning point; it soon became a obsessive record collector of many Reggae’s legendary artists, from whom he drew his inspiration.
His major influences begin with none other than the king himself; Bob Marley, through to Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer, Augustus Pablo and King Tubby to name but a few.
