When he’s not creating headlines for his clients, Chattha is rocking the mic as founder and frontman of the Punjabi funk hip-hop band BlackMahal, which has toured across the country. Chattha’s commitment to the preservation and celebration of Sikh culture led him to launch The Smithsonian’s first exhibit on Sikh artifacts and heritage in 2001, as well as speak at the annual Sikh American Chamber of Commerce Gala. 

Chattha is also the co-founder and chairman of Project Ahimsa, a leading global nonprofit effort to empower youth through music. Project Ahimsa has impacted over 10,000 children across 14 countries and distributed over 100 financial and human capital support grants.
