Biography

He was born a Muslim in a Doom-Mirasi family.[3] He started playing music for the Sikhs during the guruship of Guru Angad.[3] He was a drummer whilst his brother, Balvand Rai, was a rababi (rebec player).[1] Some sources describe him as a rababi, like his brother, rather than a drummer.[4] Other sources do not ascribe a brotherly blood relation between Satta Doom and Balvand Rai.[5] They would play kirtan at the Sikh gurus' durbar (court).[6] At some point, him and his brother abandoned the company and employment of the Guru but returned after facing hardships, where they were forgiven.[4] They then wrote hymns for penance for their past mistakes, which would form part of the Adi Granth.[4] The compositions he co-composed with his brother Balvand can be found on pages 966–968 of the Guru Granth Sahib under the title of Ramkali ki Vaar Rai Balwand tatta Satte doom akhi.[7][4]

In his hymns, he emphasized the continuity of the guruship from Nanak to Angad, referring to the latter as having been sat on the takht (throne) of Nanak.[8] It further praises the first five gurus of the Sikhs.[6]
