Rupinder "Rup" Singh Magon is a Canadian singer, songwriter, producer, actor and author born and raised in Montreal. He is a co-lead singer of JoSH, a South Asian fusion band. ==Music career== Rup founded Josh in 1996 with his brother, Rik Magon, and good friend Shiraz 'Shazi' Hussain. They were joined by Qurram 'q' Hussein, Rup's current band-mate, in 1998, and two years later Rup and Q embarked on their own path for JoSH without Rik and Shiraz. Rup's love and drive for music and the arts, and his unquestioned belief that he could make a career for himself singing South Asian Fusion music, despite being based in Canada, was initially met with doubt and skepticism from friends and family, who wanted him to pursue a more traditional 'North American' career not based in the arts.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ctv.ca/CTVNews/Entertainment/20110908/breakaway-cast-pranks-rob-lowe-talks-hockey-110909/ )〕 Rup never relented, working tirelessly with Q to produce their first compositions for Josh, "Main Hoon Tanha", which also ended up being the title track for their debut album.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.planetjosh.com/theband.asp )〕 Rup and Q have continued to produce successful music and albums including ''Kabhi'' (2004), Josh's much-anticipated second album, ''Mausam'' (2006), JoSH's third album, and ''Beyond Kismat'', JoSH's most-recent fourth album released in 2010. JoSH has worked on various other projects as well, including a remix of Grammy winner Nelly Furtado's latest singles, "Promiscuous Girl" and "Maneater". Among Rup's accomplishments as a member of JoSH include becoming the first Canadian Sikh to win both MTV India and MTV Pakistan awards 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.indianmi.org/MTVIMMIES.htm )〕 Rup has also ventured outside of the realm of music to expand his career within the umbrella of the Performing Arts. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rup Magon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
