Gin and Rees, who are not only co-producers but also brothers, have grown up in the music industry, with Gin mastering Indian percussion (Dhol, Dholakand Tabla) and melody from a young age. Rees also fell in love with Bhangra music. Also you will be surprised to hear the brothers have been running the now famous VP Entertainments which was the dance troupe that made it’s mark with a scintillating Bhangra performance at London 2012’s closing ceremony!! Kudos to that as it was amazing at the closing ceremony!

Witha beautiful melody that perfectly complements the heart-wrenching lyrics, thistrack will, without doubt, melt and steal hearts.
