Singh's uncle Dr Gurdeep Singh Bagari was at the Bollyvision competition with the whole family who cheered him on.
"It was really exciting because he has competed in the past and received recognition in India but this was his first time competing in Australia," Dr Gurdeep said.
"Paramveer is very hard working and practices his singing every night."
Singh will travel to Liverpool in Sydney where he will experience singing in a recording studio for the Bollywood film.
