Lehmber Hussainpuri (Punjabi: ਲਹਿੰਬਰ ਹੁਸੈਨਪੁਰੀ, lahimbar husainpurī pronounced [lǽmbər husɛːnpuri]) (born 17 July 1977 in Punjab, India) is a popular bhangra singer in India, UK, USA, and Canada.

Career

Hussainpuri first appeared onto the mainstream bhangra scene through Mukthar Sahota on a track titled 'Sohni Lagdi' who then moved onto a collaboration with Dr. Zeus on the album Unda The Influence. This album was a success with both traditional and modern bhangra fans with such hits as Ah Ni Kuriye, Mele Vich Jatt and Tin Cheeja. He then did other notable tracks including Sachiyan Sunaiya,Gabroo Shokeen, Yaar, Daru and a notable appearance on the worldwide smash-hit DesiRock by Swami.

A compilation The Best of Lehmber Hussainpuri was also released in 2005 by Jatt Records. A tribute album, in which Lehmber resang some of the great bhangra songs originally sung by Malkit Singh, Daler Mehndi, Sukshinder Shinda, etc. was released by VPearl Records entitled The Great Bhangra King. None of these were official albums, rather just unofficial albums/ compilations by various companies to which Lehmber branched off.

DEOL ENTERTAINMENT-Hussainpuri, in a relatively short time, has become one of the greatest Punjabi singers of recent times. He has many hit tracks on his own albums as well as on appearances on albums with Dr. Zeus, Aman Hayer, Simon Nandhra, RDB, DJ S-Bolina, DJ Sanj, Lil Sach and many others.

Hussainpuri is currently signed to Serious Records based in the UK. His first album Serious Records was released in October 2006 and contained tracks produced by Jeeti, Kam Frantic and Aman Hayer. In a recent attempt Envy Records, the former label which Hussainpuri was signed to, released a new album entitled 21 Century King of Bhangra featuring 3 new tracks and all of Hussainpuri's hit tracks from his Envy days. In response to this Hussainpuri released a video asking people not to buy the album and to only buy his albums which have been released by Serious Records. It has been stated that this is an attempt by Envy Records to get money back from Hussainpuri after he released Folk Attack early in India while being signed to Envy Records.

On September 19, 2007 Hussainpuri's compilation "Phuchal" was released. It contained songs produced by Simon Nadhara, DJ VIX, Popsy, and Metz n Trix. This album was just a compilation of songs that previously appeared on other producers' albums. Thus is album was not an official release, rather a compilation released in India

Recently, he has made appearances on 2 CDs, XS-BASS' July 2008 release, "Amplified", and DJ H & DJ Rags' August 2008 release, "Reloaded", on the songs "Mitran Da Dhol" and "Gulaab". In a recent interview, Lehmber stated that his next album would be releasing soon from Serious Records.

In February 2009, Lehmber appeared on 2 songs on Jeeti's Serious Duets. One was titled Mera Mahi Tu Pateya, which is actually just the re-worked Boliyan (this one featuring Miss Pooja) from Lehmber's album Chalakiyan. The other was a brand new song titled Dil De Hoor, containing somewhat similar lyrics from the smash hit Ah Ni Kuriye

Feud

Lehmber and Dr. Zeus made one of the best collaborations bhangra had seen since the likes of Jazzy B & S.Shinda. Together these two had various hits. But an incident around an album caused their breakup leaving yet another potentially greatest bhangra producer & singer duo lost. The last big breakup in the bhangra industry was of the band B21.

Zeus wanted Lehmber to sing all the songs on his next album. Lehmber had other plans and wanted his own solo début album. Zeus trying to convince Lehmber to do his album first, told Lehmber that he would produce Lehmber's solo début album all for free. Lehmber gladly accepted but Zeus had about 4 months before going on tour and Lehmber wanted the album done by then so he could start his solo project. Zeus could have easily finished the album but didn't meet the deadline (on purpose),therefore Lehmber took the uncompleted tracks to India behind Zeus' back. He released the songs on an album "Folk Attack" under BaseLine Records even though he was signed to Envy Records in UK. Zeus was unhappy about how the tracks were leaked and therefore fired Lehmber from Envy Records. Zeus put the finishing touches on the songs (adding raps, backup singers, and skits) and released it as "The Original Edit". Both versions of the albums were well received by listeners.
