Satnam Galsian
Satnam Galsian is a Leeds-based British Asian folk singer. With a degree in Indian Classical Music from Birmingham Conservatoire, she collaborates with artists to explore the interplay of North Indian and Western music traditions. Her versatility shines in her work with Kinaara, a band that has released two EPs: Across The River (2021) and Colours In Black (2022).
Satnam was awarded the EFDSS Alan James Creative Bursary 2023 in collaboration with fellow Leeds artist Maddie Morris to research and explore gender-based violence in Punjabi and English Folk songs. She was a recipient of the Opera North Resonance Residency 2024 for a project challenging preconceived notions about women’s roles in Punjabi folklore through a feminist retelling of Mirza-Sahiban, a tragic love story from the Indian subcontinent. Satnam released her debut EP, Fragmented Truth, in July. Sahiban was released on 4th October 2024.
Along with performing in both a solo and collaborative capacity, she delivers music and wellbeing workshops in schools and community venues.
