Amar and the comeback !!

Despite her hiatus, Amar's love of creating music never escaped her. After taking the time to find the right creative and management team to work with, she recently signed with US-based management company, Sunset Entertainment Group and is currently touring India with Jim Beanz and American boy band Rebel. She will also record two songs with award-winning Bollywood playback singer and pop star, Sonu Nigam.
Amar grew up in Walsall, West Midlands and has music running in her blood, thanks to her father, the legendary singer Mangal Singh, whose phenomenal hit single Rail Gaddi is a global Punjabi anthem. Amar herself catapulted to fame as a young girl with her hit single Tu Hai Mera Sanam, a Hindi cover of Dolly Parton's I Will Always Love You, which has also been covered by Whitney Houston.
In her teens she moved to London and discovered the Asian underground scene. Amar collaborated with Talvin Singh and features in the remarkable song Jaan on his album, Talvin Singh Presents Anokha Soundz of the Asian Underground. Soon after, she was snapped up by Geoff Travis, who at the time was with Warner Brothers UK, making her the first British Asian girl to be signed by a major record label.
The groundbreaking signing made headlines and she was tipped to be the hottest new artist on the Asian music scene. Her debut album, Outside, produced by Nitin Sawhney and Robin Millar, was a huge success and the single Sometimes It Snows in April fast became a must-play track in the club circuit.
However, soon after the album was released Amar decided to take a break from music. Her recent return to the music scene and her highly anticipated album has already sparked much interest from the industry, with critics and fans both eager to hear Amar's new sound.
The story so far ...
Having worked with the likes of Talvin Singh and Nitin Sawhney, Amar is the now the sizzling Indian muse of internationally acclaimed American superstar multi platinum producer, Timbaland (who has also worked with Justin Timberlake, Missy Elliott, Nelly Furtado, Black Eyed Peas, Rihanna, Madonna, 50 Cent and Jenifer Lopez, to name just a few) and features on his multi-platinum album Shock Value.She is also currently working with frequent Timbaland collaborator, the hottest US export producer, songwriter, vocal producer and musician, Jim Beanz (who has also worked with Britney Spears, Nelly Furtado, Craig David, Ashlee Simpson, Jamie Foxx and Jennifer Hudson and recently wrote and produced the 2008 Eurovision song contest winner, Believe for Russia and performed by Dima Bilan). Amar featured on Jamie Foxx and Chris Cornell's recent albums, as well as in two more songs for the upcoming new Timbaland album Shock Value 2, while he makes a special feature in Show It Off.
Amar's provocative Hindi lyrics, sultry voice and classic style of singing, most notably on Timbaland's sensational single Bombay and Nelly Furtado's chart-busting remix, Maneater prompted a dazzling performance at BBC Proms Electric and has helped bring Indian music back into the mainstream spotlight.
