Panjabi MC is a pseudonym of Rajinder Rai (b. 1971, Coventry, UK), who was discovered by Nachural's Ninder Johal, thanks to his remix of Kuldip Manak 's " Ghariah Milan De ". His first 12" " Rootz " was very controversial because PMC used a religious Muslim song in it. The 12" was taken off the market; but PMC continued making records.
