Agamjot Singh- The Entrepreneurs of India Magazine

Music has been part of Agamjot’s identity for as long as he can remember. Growing up in a family where devotional tunes and cultural songs were common, rhythm was always present in his environment. Among all instruments, it was the drums that pulled him in completely. A childhood memory of watching a live percussionist perform, with such power and energy, planted a dream in his mind. From that moment, he knew he wanted to create the same kind of impact with his own performances. What began as a simple fascination soon became a lifelong passion, refined with years of practice and dedication. Experimenting with rhythms at a young age, Agamjot started shaping his craft step by step. This effort led him to major stages, including prestigious events like the Mirchi Music Awards, and collaborations with record labels like TIPS. His journey even crossed international recognition when he was named among the rising instrumentalists by Sikh Lense California. For him, drumming is not just about striking beats, but about creating stories and emotions through rhythm. Every performance is a chance to inspire and connect with people, while elevating the mood of the audience.The road to this point has not been without mistakes and challenges. Agamjot openly admits that in the early part of his career, he would jump at every performance opportunity, even if he wasn’t fully ready. There was a moment when he underestimated a set’s complexity, thinking that his passion could carry him through. While the show went on, he knew deep inside he had not delivered his best. That lesson stayed with him, teaching the value of preparation and patience. As he puts it, “Talent opens doors, but consistency keeps them open.” For young musicians, he believes that discipline and practice matter more than waiting around for inspiration to strike.

Relationships have also been a major part of his growth. Beyond the stage, the way an artist carries himself, treats others, and builds trust can shape their career. Agamjot highlights that many of his opportunities came not from auditions but through people who remembered his professionalism and how he treated them. Being punctual, reliable, and clear in communication has earned him lasting partnerships and referrals.Family support has been central to his journey. His father often managed logistics and encouraged him through tough moments. During the Mirchi Music Awards, when heavy rain disrupted the setup, his father stepped in to help and keep him motivated. For Agamjot, such support shows how families can strengthen a young artist’s confidence and inspire them to follow passions beyond traditional careers.

In the beginning, resources were minimal. With only a basic drum kit, he focused on practice and persistence. Today, backed by Kaps Music, he performs with high-quality drums and snares, which has lifted his performances. His story reflects how steady effort combined with opportunity can move a career forward.

Balancing studies at the Global Music Institute with gigs was one of his biggest hurdles. The institute’s demanding training required discipline, while live shows tested his energy and time. Physical strains like wrist and back issues added to the challenge. At the same time, India’s shift from film-based music to independent artists brought both new chances and uncertainty.

Now, his work revolves around drumming as both art and career. He performs live, partners with brands, and collaborates with labels such as TIPS. Music is not only what he loves, but also what he builds his business on.He sees the Indian music scene as unique, where tradition meets modern tastes. Live shows are rising in both cities and smaller towns, with younger audiences eager for new sounds. To him, this is a space of growth that demands constant reinvention.

His advice stays clear: remain committed to your passion even in tough times. Dedication and consistent effort will eventually bring results, while every challenge offers a lesson for those willing to keep going.
