Rupinder "Rup" Singh Magon is an Indian-Canadian singer, songwriter, producer, actor and author born and raised in Montreal, Quebec.
Rup's love and drive for music and the arts, and his unquestioned belief that he could make a career for himself singing South Asian Fusion music, despite being based in Canada, was initially met with doubt and skepticism from friends and family, who wanted him to pursue a more traditional 'North American' career not based in the arts.
[1] Rup never relented, working tirelessly with Q to produce their first compositions for Josh, "Main Hoon Tanha", which also ended up being the title track for their debut album.
JoSH has worked on various other projects as well, including a remix of Grammy winner Nelly Furtado's latest singles, "Promiscuous Girl" and "Maneater".
Rup is in the 2011 sports comedy film Speedy Singhs (also known as Breakaway), directed by Robert Lieberman, starring Vinay Virmani, Russell Peters, Camilla Belle, and Anupam Kher.
