About Hard Kaur
Hard Kaur, born Taran Kaur Dhillon, grew up in Birmingham after her family moved to England in 1991. Inspired by artists like KRS-One, Nas and Wu-Tang Clan, she started rapping on the Birmingham scene, and it was Panjabi MC who gave her the stage name Hard Kaur.
She went on to release albums including Supawoman and Party Loud All Year: P.L.A.Y. Her voice is all over Bollywood, with features on the soundtracks to Singh Is Kinng, Kismat Konnection, Bachna Ae Haseeno and Patiala House, where she also made her acting debut. "Ek Glassy" with Sona Family and "Kattey" from Coke Studio India are among her best known tracks.
Live, Hard Kaur brings attitude and a big party energy. She works well for younger crowds, club-style events and receptions that want a bold Bollywood and hip-hop moment.
