Gurdeep Samra (born 5 May 1983) (also known as G Samra) is a British Asian bhangra music producer and DJ from Bicester, England. Gurdeep was born in Oxford and is of Jatt descent.

In 2002, Gurdeep released a collaboration with Panjabi folk music singer, Surinder Shinda. The song, "Jatt Panjab" became a minor radio favorite with specialist Asian music stations in the UK.[which?] The track caught the attention of Markie Mark who licensed the song for the compilation album Desi Beats Vol 1. This album was released by the UK imprint of the music label Def Jam. Since this debut, Gurdeep has continued to release music independently. His track "Mittare Naie", which featured Lehmber Hussainpuri from The First Cut EP is another notable hit.[where?]

Gurdeep also hosted a weekly radio show on Sanjhi Awaz Radio between 2010 and 2012.
