Harjinderpal Singh is a Namdhari Sikh who was born in Jabalpur, India in 1953. He is a senior disciple of the Santoor Maestro Pandit Shiv Kumar Sharma.

His interest in music since his childhood initiated his father to send him to learn Tabla, from Bhai Labh Singh Ji of the Punjab Gharanaat the age of 14.

While learning Tabla Harjinder continued his studies and obtained his Bachelor's Degree in Science. Later on he became the disciple of Ustad Nihal Singh Ji to learn Pakhawaj style of table.

Seeing his talent, His Holiness Shri Satguru Jagjit Singh Ji, the Spiritual Head of the Namdhari Sect, took Harjinder to Bombay and made him the disciple of the Santoor maestro Pandit Shiv Kumar Sharma to learn to play the Santoor, the hundred stringed instrument from the valleys of Kashmir.

Harjinder has never looked back since then. Under the guidance of hos Gire js started practicing the santoor and after years of practice he gave his first public performance in the prestigious Pt. Vishnu Digambhar Paluskar Jayanti Samaroh in New Delhi in 1986.

While learning the Santoor he got the scholarship of Ustad Allauddin Khan Music Academy Bhopal and participated in the 'Arambh 16' Festival held in Bhopal.
