Over the last two decades, the United Kingdom has produced a number of musicians of Indian origin, who have created a new trend of music by mixing Indian melody and western sound with the help of state-of-the-art recording technology. Stereo Nation is one of the finest exponents of this genre of music.

Stereo Nation is different from the crowd in that they have been very effective in combining bhangra with reggae. Tarsem Singh, alias Taz, is the father of this unique technique. Stereo nation became a household name in India in the 1990s but Taz got his first break in 1989 with an album called Hit The Deck. Don’t break my heart from the album 'I’ll Be Waiting' saw the group hit the big time. Taz has done playback in the film Tum Bin. Taz's latest album Taz Mania is in his words “a collection melodious and rhythmic songs.” Ask him about his biggest nightmare and he answers, “To lose my voice because I don’t know anything but music.”
