Sukhram

Born in a village called Bashkola, located only 20km outside of Kullu, Sukhram is one of the most inspiring and strongest personalities to be found in Himachal Pradesh. His spectacular vocals clearly indicate how talented he is, while his story has the capacity to become a true catalyst for motivation.

Sukhram studied in the small village of Katrain and his journey in the field of music was set in motion in the 3rd grade. Unfortunately, due to financial conditions, he had to quit school and music for a brief period. He got the support he needed from one of his teachers in school but had to quit again. Meanwhile, he had lost about 75% of his eyesight due to a medical condition but that did not stop him from pursuing his craft. He started out in the field of music in honour of his devotion to Devtas (Gods) and received substantial support from his teachers in school. Performing on stage for the first time in 8th grade was a life-changing experience for him as it instilled great passion and confidence within him. He has also recently completed a professional course in music from “Sutrdhar Kala Sangam” and recorded an album called “Bashkoli Dhamaka” with the assistance of Deep Lal.

Sukhram has devoted his life not only in pursuit of excellence in his art but also in the service of others as he started working in the Chandrahawa Memorial of the blind after his schooling was completed. His roots are humble and he also has a younger brother who isn’t even a teenager yet. Despite all these struggles he manages to stay passionate about music and strives to improve his craft every single day. He doesn’t consider money over experience and learning and wishes to continue to rise and shine.
