Lux Phull ft Kaka Bhainiwala - Jigrey Yaaran Di (Out Now)
'Jigrey Yaaran De' feat the late Kaka Bhaniawala is the new single by Lux Phull out now via iTunes!
It was back in December 1993 when Lukhdeep Phull’s life would change forever. At the age of just 16 Lukhdeep, who is known as Lux, was stabbed in the spine at Leicester Square underground station and his spinal cord was severed. Initially in a wheelchair for several years, Lux fought to get back on his feet and he is now about to fulfil another ambition by releasing his first record.
Music has been an inspiration in Lux Phull’s life and has helped him through grit and determination to fight back from a knife injury that severed his spinal cord when he was a teenager.
After being attacked at an underground station when he was 16 years old Lux spent months in Stanmore Spinal Unit as his condition was assessed by consultants. When told the heart-breaking news that he would never walk again, unsurprisingly Lux’s reaction was to burst into tears. Lux left the spinal unit in April 1994 and returned back to the family home. His brother gave up his university course and together they journeyed to Gloucestershire where Lux attended physiotherapy and began to regain some function. “Standing up was the best feeling ever,” Lux recalls.
During the years that followed Lux had a fairly ordinary life. He restarted his education gaining a degree in multimedia computing, all the while continuing with a physio more local to home in Wembley. Gradually Lux began to regain functionality and movement and in 1998, some five years after his accident, Lux was able to park his wheelchair and has used only crutches since then.
Lux now continues to improve by attending neurokinex which is a new activity-based rehabilitation centre in Watford. The extraordinary non-profit facility provides specialist rehabilitation through exercise for people suffering from spinal cord injuries.
“neurokinex has really helped not just my physical condition but also my self-confidence and with that I am now pursuing what is my real passion in life,” says Lux.
He was always a shy character, but following his accident he became more self-conscious around others and always held people at arm’s length. Lux says: “I found that I spent more and more time listening to music and gradually over the years my interest in music became the main thing in my life.” Lux saved his earnings and eventually was able to start piecing together a recording studio at his home, and he has now written and is about to release his first solo track.
“The track follows my life and fuses the tradition of Bhangra music with modern music and life. The proceeds of sale of song are gong to go to Spinal Research Charity . Just something I’ve always wanted to do since i got injured.” The track is due to be released on 20th February, 2014 and is available on SpeakerBoxx Records via all major digital distribution vendors.

I'm sure they do get some sort of com[censored]sa tion, unless someone else owns the rights to all of his music ( I don't follow punjabi music enough to know who).
The problem with Asians is, they love to Hate. There is no need to comment on a singer or producer negatively. Look, listen and leave the page if you have nothing decent or constructive to say. Banging Track. Kaka is one of the greatest.
No point disrespecting the singer what if some of his family read these comments. Show some respect
SPOT on. Just did a mut maar over sazia judge video nice mmmmmmm
How much money goes back to their families. ?????
How much goes into their own pockets???????
The fact that useless and meaningless producers have been a green light to produce shit [censored]ed music is beyond me by these record companies is a joke
Tee Singhh
You make no sense man......, but
LOOK OUT for Kaka's next new track with Notorious Jatt, cause its going to be BIG, which was kaka,s last recording before passing away. Then there's also a moorni track with Jags Klimax and other tracks with AMX & Tru Skool that will be released in the near future.
Show him a khela (Banana) lol . He so black sum kaleh would be frightened of him lol
HIT in what context backstreet cornershop BHANGRA. Love it how you personify he was an artist he barely made a good living from it. Go see his family really struggling at the moment. They never saw a [censored]ny from the benefit gig done in his name also never recieve any rolyaltied for his tracks etc. They lived hand to mouth mate. An artist in my opinion is someone who has longevity (has made there name not just amongst bhangra but in other markets as well). This guy was gareeb pindoo singer.
