Early Life & Education

Yo Yo Honey Singh, born Hirdesh Singh on March 15, 1983, in Hoshiarpur, Punjab, India, spent his early years in the culturally rich region of Punjab, where he developed a deep passion for music.

He is of Punjabi ethnicity and follows Sikhism. His father, Sardaar Sarabjit Singh, initially worked as a truck driver before pursuing a career in music as a dholak player and singer, while his mother, Bhupinder Kaur, was a homemaker.

Honey Singh has one sister, Sarabjeet Kaur. He attended Guru Nanak Public School in Punjab for his early education and later moved to London to study music at Trinity College, although conflicting public statements raise some uncertainty about whether he completed the course.

Growing up, Hirdesh was deeply influenced by his father’s musical career, which exposed him to the music industry at an early age. This foundation played a crucial role in shaping his career.

His impact on Bollywood was undeniable, with hits like “Lungi Dance” from Chennai Express and “Chaar Bottle Vodka” from Ragini MMS 2. However, his lyrics often sparked controversy due to accusations of promoting sexism, vulgarity, and substance abuse.
