Virdi Singh Mazaria Biography – Virdi Singh Mazaria Wiki
Virdi Singh Mazaria, real name Virdavinder Singh Gill, is a Music Producer, International DJ, Host, MC and contestant on BBC One’s The Apprentice 2024. He is the founder of Virdi Mazaria Ltd, a sound recording and music publishing company based in Leicester, United Kingdom.
Virdi previously worked as a Fleet and Logistics Ltd Transport Manager in Leicester, England, United Kingdom. He was also a Radio Presenter for BBC Asian Network from June 2020 to December 2022; Audit Associate for EY from September 2019 to May 2020; and Customer Representative for Hastings Direct from September 2017 to August 2018.
Virdi left his job as an auditor just a month before the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 to begin life as a music producer and DJ. A month later, lockdown hit and he lost all bookings and upcoming projects.
He told the BBC: “I’d say my biggest business fail at the time led to my biggest business success: A month before Covid I left my job as an auditor for the big four to take my music full time. A month later, lockdown hit and I lost all bookings and upcoming projects. At the time, it was my biggest business fail however, what I learnt was, when everything fails, how to improvise and get myself back up. Which is what I did.”
The bouncebackability from the effects of Covid has seen Virdi triumph in his producing and DJ career. He has produced a track for Indian rapper and musician Sidhu Moose Wala, a prominent figure in the Punjabi music scene. He has also gone on to DJ in seven countries.
Speaking about his biggest business success to date, he said: “One of my most notable business achievements was having the privilege to produce a track for Sidhu Moose Wala, a prominent figure in the Punjabi music scene. This accomplishment is paralleled by another significant success in my career – to DJ worldwide from the age of 18. Today, I take pride in having showcased my DJ skills in seven countries.”

The Apprentice contestant Virdi Singh Mazaria practices Sikhism, a religion and philosophy founded in the Punjab region of India in the late 15th century. Sikhism is the world’s fifth most popular religion.
Virdi is the first turban-wearing Sikh contestant on The Apprentice. In an interview with BBC Asian Network, he revealed whispering a prayer to avoid boardroom firing in week one of the BBC One show.
In the opening task of the show, Virdi took up the role of project manager. After leading his fellow hopefuls to a loss and the prospect of a first-week firing, Virdi turned to his religion, murmuring “Waheguru” – meaning “God” in Sikhism.
“I started to pray. You can see the red eyes and me getting very emotional,” he told BBC Asian Network. “I thought ‘God, this is in your hands’. And I kept saying Waheguru again and again. If you think I deserve to get fired, then fire me now. And if you feel like I deserve to stay, keep me in’. And I stayed in, so I feel like the power of God is what helped me stay in the process.”
Virdi is not one to shy away from showing his faith openly. “Prayer is having the belief in something,” he said. “I know when things go up or down, I’ve got the power of religion with me.”
