Satta Doom

Satta Doom (fl. late 16th to early 17th century), also spelt as Satta Dum, was a drummer and author of eight verses found within the Guru Granth Sahib.

Biography He was born a Muslim in a Doom-Mirasi family. He started playing music for the Sikhs during the guruship of Guru Angad. They would play kirtan at the Sikh gurus' durbar'' (court). At some point, him and his brother abandoned the company and employment of the Guru but returned after facing hardships, where they were forgiven. They then wrote hymns for penance for their past mistakes, which would form part of the Adi Granth. It further praises the first five gurus of the Sikhs.
