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".

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.
