Jinder is a Westcountry-based singer, songwriter and international touring artist.

Over the last ten years, Jinder has released seven albums, given over 2000 concerts throughout the UK, Europe and America, and has worked with various artists including Devon Sproule, Jeff Lang, Hank Marvin, Sinéad O’Connor, Ricky Ross, Jackie Leven, Melody Gardot and many more.

Formerly the frontman of UK chart act Candlefire and cult folk-pop duo Olas & Jinder, Jinder released debut solo album 'Willow Park' in 2005 to widespread critical acclaim. Follow-ups 'I'm Alive', 'Twenty Four Hours' and 'The Three EPs' saw an upward career trajectory which piqued the interest of various major record labels, resulting in Jinder signing to Sony BMG in late 2007 and recording the album 'Postcards From Valonia' with collaborators Simon Johnson and Gavin Wyatt under the moniker of 'The Mercurymen'.

Unhappy with life on a major label, Jinder opted to end his contract with Sony BMG in 2009, and formed his own record label, booking agency and PR company, Din Of Ecstasy.

It was through Din Of Ecstasy that Jinder subsequently released his most successful album to date, ‘Nine Cents From Benelux’ in July 2009, vindicating his decision to part ways from Sony BMG to establish D.O.E., a move which was seen as controversial to many contemporaries.

Jinder's eighth album, the highly anticipated follow-up to ‘Nine Cents From Benelux’ is completed, and is scheduled for release through Din Of Ecstasy in March 2012.
