Biba Singh (born August 30)[citation needed] is an Indian American artist, doctor and singer. She has released two albums, Biba (2009) and Biba For You (2011). The album Biba For You was launched by Bappi Lahri in May 2011. She sings both pop and traditional Punjabi music. She is also a board-certified practicing physician in New York City.

She has been singing since she was four, and was also encouraged in that by her parents. At seven she began singing at gurudwaras, and she released a shabad album titled Desire for Truth-Saachi Baani with Ustaad Taari Khan.[2] She was discovered by Bollywood singer Daler Mehndi and then in 2009 was introduced to Santokh Singh. She worked with him to create her first pop album, Biba, that year,[3] and with Bappi Lahri on her second, Biba For You, released in 2011.[1][2][4] In November 2013 she released a single, "Akhian", based on the classic song "Akhiyan'ch tu Vasda" by Surinder Kaur.[1][5]
