Harvin Singh seems like a shy eight-year-old but put him behind a dhol and he transforms into a confident music-making machine.

In fact, he has carved a name as one of the country’s youngest dhol players, wowing audiences at numerous occasions including Punjabi weddings, school concerts and community events around the Klang Valley.
