Gurnazar is a boy from Kurukshetra, Haryana. He completed his schooling from DAV College, Kurukshetra and pursued his higher studies in music from SD College, Kurukshetra. He comes from a Sikh family but not much information is known about his family except that he’s very close to his mother. He was fond of singing when he was young but never really thought of making it a career. Today, Gurnazar is known for his melodious voice but one thing he was passionate about before coming in the music industry is outdoor sports, he was so good at skating that he won 80 medals in total, which also include 3 for World Records. He made the first World Record by performing for Haryana roller skating team for playing Inline Hockey continuously for 30 hours in the year 2010 at Belgaum, Karnataka. Gurnazar’s second world record was in the category of roller skating which covered the distance of 720 km in 3 hours while the third one was made against there first record making it to 50 hours of playing Insite Hockey, in 2012. However, Nazar hasn’t done skating for more than 6 years now.
After winning numerous awards he opted for becoming a Skating Coach in a Skating Public School, Kurukshetra. While in college, he got introduced to music and this was the time when he started writing. His band participated in a competition organized by Channel V named LaunchPad Nokia India. He didn’t have a band so he looked for band members and finally 4-5 boys collaborated. They named there band “Ram Bharose” they didn’t practice much and were totally dependent on God. But to there surprise, the band won the Zonal Competition and made its place in the finale to be held in Goa. While in Goa, the band met some senior singers from the band Green Chorus and after the competition, he joined the same band. Gurnazar learned to perform as a band and this helped him in improving his musical sense and the band still performs with his band at Satva, Sector 26 every Wednesday and 10 Downing Street on Sunday’s. And today, Gurnazar is a Solo Singer too, and he got his major break from the title track of the movie “Yaaran Da Katchup” starring Harrdy Sandhu, Varun Sharma, Yuvika Chaudhary, Rana Ranbir, Jaswinder Bhalla, and Anil Juneja
At first, when he developed an interest in music, he wanted to record a song but had no money. He then searched for people who recorded songs for a maximum of Rs. 2000, he got lucky here and his first ever song was recorded for free. Then for the video, Nazar and his friends borrowed a digital camera from a friend and started shooting the footage for the music video. After editing the video, YouTube Facebook being a new trend at that time, they uploaded their music video on YouTube and shared it to everyone by messaging people personally. He got a good response through that and people liked it, and this encouraged him to do more such songs. Slowly, with the success of his first song on social media, the budget for song recording increased and Gurnazar recorded another song where he met Arvindr Khaira, the famous Punjabi Video Director today, he too started his career back then. Khaira offered him to shoot the music video for his next song. Gurnazar started performing on stages with the MP3 Track of the song for about 5 to 10 mins whenever he got the chance to. He developed more interest after a little appreciation from the audience and wrote some more songs. He went to a club in Chandigarh with his friends one day and they asked him to sing as a band was performing live there. So, he borrowed a mic from them and sang a Punjabi song. He got such an overwhelming response from the audience that he was offered to come and perform in the bar by the owner. He recreated the song “Deewana” which was originally sung by Sonu Nigam was released by TIPS, the company that released the original version of it. This opportunity was a big thing for him.
