About Harmail Chatha
Harmail began helping family members in promoting Kabbadi tournaments in his youth. At nine, he attended a concert of the legendary Amar Chamkila and before long, had seen the likes of Malkit Singh, Amar Noori, Sardool Sikandar, Surinder Shinda and Harbhanjan Mann's. By 1993, these inspiring events helped shift his focus from sports to entertainment; when Harmail had the opportunity to work his first major concert, Mann-e-Mann.

2001 brought Harmail's first solo outing with the highly acclaimed Vaisakhi Mela concert featuring Manmohan Waris, Kamal Heer,Kulwinder Dhillon, Jazzy B, Surbjit Cheema and Satwinder Bitti in San Jose California.

In the midst of all this, Harmail has found time to help promote, Harbhajan Mann's first film, Jee Aya Nu in California and Toronto. Harmail has appeared as a lead male in two Bhangra music videos for Shankar Sahney, and as an actor. Harmail can be seen in Girija Shankar's film Banana Brother's. In addition, he has modeled for Versace and other designer shows here in northern California.

Harmail's first love remains Bhangra, a synergistic blend of traditional origins and contemporary musical styles ranging from Reggae to Techno and Rap. Bhangra has evolved into a global sound and can now be heard in the mainstream media all over the world. As Harmail puts it, "Bhangra is truly one of the most joyous and celebratory forms of dancing... it is close to nature... anyone and everyone can (and does) dance to Bhangra with an immense joy and ecstasy that nature bestows to all.
