DEEP aka Deep Cold, Deep Da 1, is a Punjabi-American Southern rap artist from Houston, Texas. Raised in Houston, Deep Cold attended the same high school as Paul Wall and Chamillionaire. His first interest in music came at a young age when a tight family house hold income made him seek other avenues/interests.

After a rough year in 2000, Deep Cold was forced to re-evaluate his position and decided to co-create Da 1 Records with his cousin. Deep Cold released his debut album In Trunks Now in 2005 on his independent label. It featured big Southern Rap names such as Slim Thug, David Banner, Big Moe, Big Pokey as well as Too Short. Since then he has personally signed new artists Lenny Lenn and Kamla Punjabi to the label and has played a major role in the financing of their album. He also wrote a poem about his name. "My name is deep, i should be called deep because i am so deep." He co-hosted a MTV Desi Show with Kamala Punjabi.

In 2009 Deep Cold and Kamla Punjabi released a collaboration album 'Nach Nach' which was produced by DJ Sanj/J-Nas

In 2010 'Dekhlo Punjabi Munde' was refixed by replacing Deep Cold's verses with the vocals of Diljit Dosanjh and featured in the Punjabi movie Mel Karade Rabba.

Deep Cold has worked with Master Saleem, Sonu Niggam, The Teflon Don, Sonny Brown, DJ Sanj/J-Nas, Diljit Singh, Jas Rai, Kamla Punjabi, Haji Springer and more.

More recently Deep Cold & Kamla Punjabi released two songs with Universal on their compilation 'Desi Hustle' - Siti Maar and Duniya. Deep Cold has now teamed up with Sonny Brown and The Teflon Don to form the group 3 SINGHS.
