Chandigarh, Sept 11 : After making a name in television and stage anchoring, Sattinder Satti has debuted as a singer through her Punjabi album title 'Peeng' or "The Swing".

The daughter of an army officer from a baptised Sikh family, Satti was born and brought up in Batala.

Satti took to the stage at the age of 19, and earned accolades for her performances.

"In 90 per cent of my stage performances, people have demanded me to become a singer," she says.

Having established herself as a stage artist, Satti says she is keen to be a trend-setter, and therefore delayed the release of her album.

"I am doing this album only to show that this is the kind of singer I am," said Satti.

Satti rehearses in the Sufiana style through songs like "Damadam Mast Kalandhar".

Sushil Kumar Jain of Mohali has groomed her into a singer, says Satti.

Satti is taking her Punjabi singing career seriously, as she sees no popular female Punjabi singer on the horizon. She claims that after the era of Narinder Biba and Surinder Kaur, only Satwinder Bitti has claim to being a popular Punjabi female singer.

"No girl is a Gurdas Maan or a Harbhajan Maan. Though, the girls have a much sweeter voice then males, without females, no music industry can survive. I think, there is a need for the industry and the artists to realise their (female singers) potential," says Satti.
