"Next generation stand up and stay proud, all of my soldiers represent and make a vow!" – Punjabi Boyz (Jatinder Saund)
When you pursue a dream; the outcome can be surprising. JT (Jatinder) and MC J.D. (Harman) have been dreaming about making albums that will set precedents for ages to come...And they are here!
With the formation of JT & MC J.D. Roadshow, both JT and JD have been catapulted to the forefront of an emerging and global South Asian musical movement. They have intricately formulated a musical genre that crosses borders and appeals to the masses.
They have blended the traditional Punjabi folk sounds with a robust mix of hiphop, r'n'b and a dash of dancehall reggae.
"Our music is truly music for musicians." – J.D.
JT also refreed to as Ustad Ji by his students has mastered the Dhol (punajbi percussive instrument). Being exposed to Tabla at a young age, Jatinder always loved the sound of Indian classical and Traditional Punjabi Folk music. That intricate playing element of the Tabla geared his ears towards the classical side, yet that aggressive Dhol and Tumbi touch in Punjabi music diverted him to the latter. Learning whatever basics he did from the Tabla, naturally he moved onto the Dhol and slowly tapped into his true passion. JT is the brainchild behind the music for these upcoming projects. He has mastered the art of production through precise and meticulous devotion. He has tweaked every kick, snare, bass line and sound to make this album unique. In addition to his compulsive musical fetish he has also incorporated a heavy influence of live artists to bring the true element into his production.
"I am blessed to be working with artist of this caliber and the talent that I have seen and heard is remarkable" - J.T. on his session artists
J.D. started his career influenced by hip-hop, reggae and classic house. In the early 90’s he started to follow the then emerging and underground jungle (drum and bass) scene in Toronto. He started emceeing to jungle/drum and bass and is currently one of the top emcees in North America. J.D. also turned to the Bhangra scene in early 2000 recording the smash hit Tere Mere – RDB feat. E=MC and MC J.D. (Untouchables UK), not soon after that he recorded another global hit Ishq Brandy – DJ H - Lembhar Husseinpuri feat MC J.D. (Untouchables UK). Currently J.D. is songwriting, composing and still performing live across North America.
In 2008 JT (Jatinder) and J.D. (Harman) joined forces in the studio to work on a collaboration of tracks. Both with a vast and deep musical understanding they formulated a plan to create a distinct sound. They have completed both albums and are currently in the process of releasing several singles and videos from their upcoming projects.
Thanks to the efforts of the likes the late Kaka Bhaniawala (r.i.p), Manj from RDB, Pama Sarai, Nuphlo, Preet Mani, Selena Dhillon, Jaspal Rana and many more this project is set to set a trend in the South Asian Fusion scene.
Look out for such smash hits:
