Simi "Malak" Kaur - She was given the name "Malak" by one of her students who said, "You are an angel. A special person sent by God". This beautiful comment encouraged her to use this as her Artist name.

She was born on June 22, 1980. She raised in the United States. Her parents are from Punjab, India. They migrated to the United States in the 1960s.  

She knew education plays a key role in ones life so she went on to earn a B.Sc and two Master degrees. She is a teacher by profession and teach English as a Second Language to high school students and university students.

She began her singing career in 1989 at a local gurdwara. she entered in several Kirtan competitions throughout the East Coast of the United States and was awarded first place by Hazoori Raagis from Golden Temple. She firstly appeared on channel 56- USA in 1989. In 1999, she aired on Dhoor Darshan and also was selected to sing at the Khalsa Day festivals in Washington DC, where she preformed in front of thousands of attendees in the United States capital.

She began singing English, Punjabi, Urdu and Hindi songs in February 2015, as she was determined to step out of her comfort zone and reach others like herself. Others who have faced trials and tribulations through life.  She was also inspired because she wanted to prove that the "ordinary" can use talents hidden within and do "extraordinary" things. First song she sung in February 2015 was a cover of Pani Da Rang.

She recently completed few covers like "Lami Judai", "Tere Bin Nahi Lagda" & "Meri Jindagi Hai Tu" along with videos of "Hold me" and "I'm not alone" which is to bring new hope and faith in humanities.

Her goal is to inspire the disadvantage, minority and victims of domestic violence to stand strong and prove to the world that they too can rise above all and find light even when it seems like darkness is all that exists.
