Profile
About Bally Sagoo
Bally Sagoo was born in Delhi and raised in Birmingham, where he started out as a DJ and remixer. In 1989 Oriental Star Agencies asked him to remix Hey Jamalo, and its success launched a career that would shape British Asian music for decades. Albums such as Wham Bam, Bollywood Flashback and Rising from the East followed.
His remix of Chura Liya became the first song by an Indian artist to be playlisted on BBC Radio 1, and he went on to appear on Top of the Pops. His sound blends classic Bollywood and qawwali melodies with dance, R&B and reggae beats, a style that countless DJs have followed since. He has also composed music for films including Monsoon Wedding and Bend It Like Beckham.
At events Bally brings a real sense of history to the dance floor. Older guests recognise the songs that soundtracked their own weddings, while younger guests enjoy the dance production. It is a set built for mixed generations.
