Personal LifeDate of Birth12 July 1981 (Sunday)Age (as of 2021)40 YearsBirthplaceMississauga, Ontario, CanadaZodiac signCancerNationalityCanadianHometownTorontoReligion/Religious ViewsHumble The Poet doesn’t follow Sikhism as a religion. He says, "I don’t view Sikhi as a religion, and personally believe it was never intended to be one. The writings in Sikhi are very intuitive on the nature of man, and the causes of displeasure, it’s not a one size fits all recipe on how to live; that dogma came later. I have a good relationship with Mother Nature and don’t concern myself with concepts of the supernatural... I’m a life long learner and life is my teacher. I just want to soak in the world as long as I’m here."Political InclinationAutonomistMailing AddressKanwer Singh
