Nawab (Singer) Biography

Punjabi singer Nawab, born Mandeep Nadha, rose to prominence with his 2018 single "Expert Jatt." A civil engineering graduate from Guru Nanak Dev Engg. Col

Early life and background

Mandeep Nadha, known professionally as Nawab, hails from Chak Jamalgarh in the Jalalabad tehsil of Firozpur district, Punjab, India. He grew up in a household where Punjabi music left a strong impression on him from childhood; he began listening to established singers at a very young age and gave his first stage performance while still in school.

Nawab attended DAV Jalalabad for his schooling. To pursue higher education he moved for coaching during Class 12 and later enrolled at Guru Nanak Dev Engineering College in Ludhiana, where he completed a bachelor's degree in civil engineering. During his college years he spent time in Chandigarh and, for a period, lived at the home of noted Punjabi singer Kuldeep Manak while helping care for the singer during illness.

Career

Although Nawab began working toward a career in entertainment around 2010, his visible breakthrough came much later. He decided to pursue music full time after completing his engineering degree, relocating to Chandigarh to focus on songwriting and recording.

Nawab’s first widely recognized release was the single "Expert Jatt," which arrived in 2018 under the Juke Dock label with music by Mista Baaz. The path to releasing that song involved multiple challenges: initial recording and video plans were revised, a reworking of the musical scale was advised by colleagues, and the music video was reshot due to lip-sync problems. Financial constraints were part of the process; Nawab has acknowledged taking a loan to complete the project and that his family had reservations about his decision to pursue singing professionally. He left his job about a year before "Expert Jatt" was released to focus on completing the song.

After "Expert Jatt" brought him attention, Nawab continued releasing singles. In 2018 he also recorded "Follow," released on the T-Series Apna Punjab label with music again by Mista Baaz. In 2019 he issued a string of singles across different labels: "Gedi Route" on T-Series Apna Punjab, "Tattoo Song" on YRF Digital, and "Nawabi" through Big Studios, a production house associated with him.

Additional releases include tracks like "Heart Beat," "Young Age," and "Gaani Yaar Di." Under his own Expert Jatt Records imprint, he released "White Gold" (2020), "Mehnge Suit" (2021), and "Combination" (2022), showing a steady output following his initial commercial success.

Public profile

Nawab is known publicly by a few names; his birth name is Mandeep Nadha, and he has also been associated with the names Vick Singh and the stage name Nawab, reportedly chosen early in his career. He is a Punjabi-language singer whose repertoire includes several singles released across mainstream regional labels and his own productions. Physical details commonly cited in public profiles list a height of approximately 178 cm (about 5'10") and black hair and eyes.

Personal life

Nawab was born on 9 July; his exact year of birth is not publicly listed. He is unmarried. His father is named Amrik Singh; his mother’s name has not been provided in public records consulted here. He follows Sikhism. Media notes indicate that Kuldeep Manak’s music influenced him as a child and that Nawab developed a close relationship with Manak’s family while assisting during the elder singer’s illness.
