Bryan Sidhu was originally born in Kuala Kangsar, Perak, Malaysia as Premjeet Singh to a couple that migrated from India, Pajen Singh and wife Mukhtiar Kaur. Pajen Singh came was brought to Malaysia by his elder brother Gurbax Singh prior to the Malaya independence to work in the Quarry and rubber estates. He worked the in quarry for Mr Hameer Singh, who also migrated during the british occupation of Malaya. Pajen Singh was introduced to marry Mukhtiar Kaur by Mr Saroop Singh from Bukit Mertajam, who also got him a job as a Security Guard at the United Malayan banking Corporation, by consilting Mr Nahar Singh of Kuala Kangsar, who was the uncle to Mukhtiar Kaur, where the marriage was solemised in India and Premjeet Singh was born at the Women Hospital Kuala Kangsar on 21st October 1961

Bryan Sidhu who was known as Premjeet Singh and Jeetay, was brought to Kulim, Kedah after his birth, where the family lived in Kilang Lama. They were renting a malay kampung house next to the house of Mr Hameer Singh, which was owned by a person called Kaka. Kaka later sold the land and the house to Gurbax Singh the elder brother of Pajan Singh. During the period of growing to 7years old, Jeetay uncle Gurbax Singh wanted to marry in India, where he sold the land and house for RM1000 to Pajen Singh. Pajen Singha asked his wife to borrow from her uncle Mr Nahar Singh to lend the money that will have to be pay within one year. Pajen Singh started working in the Quarry again part time and saved the money for the money borrowed which was paid as agreed.

Later Jeetay had two more sisters, Perbindar kaur and Daljit kaur, started studying in Sekolah Tunku Abdul Malik, Kulim and Sekolah Menengah Sultan Badlishah, Kulim, where he finished his MCE. His sister studied in Sekolah Rendah and Menegah Convent. Daljit went on to study at BM High School for the STPM after the SPM.

Jeetay did not get a credit in Bahasa Malaysia, and decided to repeat by home learning the MCE and in 1979 received the result of credit. With his Grade 3 results, he struggled to get further education or even a good job. He had to statr working as a Construction worker, making concrete drains, and later joined the factory as a General Worker. From that he went on to being a Line leader and Store Clerk. He later managed to get a job with the Malayan Railways as a trainee booking clerk.

During this time, Jeetay's mother was very sick, and the sisters were also schooling. The father was under pressure so was every one, where she ignored her sickness by taking medicine. The mother passed away in August 1982 due to Cronic renal failure or Kidney, and Jeetay and sisters had to take care of themselves. During this process, Jeetay managed to get a job as a Autobonding Supervisor at Intel, Penang but decided to leave the job and join the Malayan railways. Jeetay still wanted to study, where he went to learn bookkeeping, type writing, computing on parttime basis.

In 1984, Jeetay managed to get the opportunity to study in Bournemouth, England in Diploma of Business Studies. So, with great reluctance, of his father and sisters, he still went to study in the UK. In the UK, Jettay introduced himself as Prem, which later became Brain and Bryan as it was hard to pronounce by his friends, or people. So Jeetay became to be known as Bryan Premjeet Singh in UK. The study scheme at the Institute of Commercial Management, was a scam run by Mr Ford, and was recognised by authorities in Malaysia. Hence upon completion, Bryan decided to continue studies at the Greenwich College on a twinning programme for the degree awarded by Western International University, from phoenix, Arizona, USA.

Upon graduation, he returned to Malaysia, and started working with Selangor Pewter, in Setapak, KL.
