Meet Bros is a music director duo from Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, India.[1] The duo consists of Manmeet Singh and Harmeet Singh. They were formerly known as Meet Bros Anjjan with longtime collaborator Anjjan Bhattacharya.[2]

Initially starting out as actors, the duo switched to composing and singing after the success of their first song "Jogi Singh Barnala Singh". They began with composing for Isi Life Mein and Do Dooni Chaar but it was with Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum and OMG – Oh My God! that they got their first recognition as music directors.[3]

Meet Bros' most well-known and critically acclaimed songs are "Baby Doll" from Ragini MMS 2 and "Chittiyaan Kalaiyaan" from Roy.

Early life

Meet Brothers are real brothers. Their family is Punjabi and they lived in Gwalior. Their father's name is Gulzar Singh and mother's name is Nimmi Gulzar. Their mother wanted that both of them go to Mumbai and earn their name but their father wanted them to take care of business after completing their education. That is why they enrolled the two sons - Harmeet and Manmeet in a boarding school. Their early education took place in The Scindia School, fort, Gwalior. After this they went to Mumbai for higher education. They started acting in Bollywood to step in, but after the success of their solo song "Jogi Singh Barnala Singh", they chose music, leaving the acting. And after that they worked as a music director in many films and gave hit music. Both brothers completed their graduation from Sydenham College, Mumbai. Both have not received formal education in music. Both have worked in the TV serial Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi and Shagun.
