Speaking to SBS Punjabi, Karamveer Singh explains how singing never felt like a forced endeavor but rather a natural talent that developed alongside him.
"It's one natural thing that grew with me as I grew," he says.
Mr. Singh recently participated in the auditions for Channel Seven's television show 'Australian Idol,' and his video quickly went viral within the community.
"Unveiling my soul on the Australian Idol stage was a true honor, and I am grateful for the opportunity to showcase my passion on such a high-profile platform, where thousands of contestants from the nation strive to participate," says Mr. Singh.
He further believes that his participation will help dispel stereotypical notions associated with turbans and unshorn beards, often linking them with professions like truck or Uber drivers.

Hailing from the historic city of Fatehgarh Sahib in the Punjab state of northern India, Karamveer began singing in school competitions, local festivals, and 'kavisharis' (Punjabi folk music entailing energetic and dynamic a cappella singing) further fueling his passion. When it came time to plan his career, he chose Australia to study sound engineering.
Having completed his degree, he now works as a music producer and audio operator, stating that this has allowed him to grasp the depth of music.
"It's not just about singing; rather, music encompasses a vast array of combined elements, and I will continue exploring," he says.
