With good music, yes, we can bring people together because a good song will touch your soul no matter what and where it is coming from.
Guru Randhawa
Wherever you go, your memories from the place you grew up in always remain special.
I don't see myself in competition with anyone, I am in my own space; I don't follow anyone, though I appreciate good work always.
I make sure to eat dishes made in olive oil, whether virgin or extra virgin; the dish has to be made in olive oil. I believe it's the healthiest oil that you can consume to stay fit.
Singing for Bollywood films has an altogether different approach, as the industry has a wider reach. It has helped me reach parts of India which I didn't know existed.
Yes, I have done a few things like always, worked immensely hard, always respected people, admired good work, and never let success blow my top off; probably this has worked in my favour.
Yes I am a big time foodie, but I make sure to eat a little less than my actual hunger.
Punjabi songs are fun. They help to cheer up the environment and the mood.
I still don't know if there is any one mantra for success.
I love my God, and whenever I want something, I pray to Him, and my wish is fulfilled. That's my success mantra.
In my childhood, I used to go to theatres to watch independent singers' outing on screen. I used to be excited about how different they sound in a video and at a theatre.
Bruno Mars. He is my favourite artist, and I always look forward to see him perform live.
I am amused with the love people are showing for my songs. I am really happy to see my fans enjoying my music and loving the music I make.
I am glad to see the people grooving to and loving the Punjabi tunes. I also personally feel that Punjabi songs have a different vibe and energy, which helps in lifting one's mood completely.
I enjoy independent music, even more than Bollywood.
Delhiites are mind-blowing. Their enthusiasm and fervour pumps me up to give my best shot. They value my music.
My association with Delhi goes way back... After finishing high school in Punjab, I moved here to chase my passion and obsession for music.
Bollywood, no doubt, has a wider acclaim, and it feels top of the world to see people from all around the world dancing to my songs.
It has been my dream to feature on Billboard's list, as I always wanted to make music for India that will make to that list. I have always wanted to take Indian music to an international platform someday, even if it is on number 100.
When I entered the music industry, the biggest struggle was reaching out to people.
My family, particularly my brother, made it possible for me to get into the Punjabi music industry.
I have a very small list of friends with whom I gel and love to spend my time with.
One can find a Punjabi song in all genres. I, as a singer, too, aim to sing all kind of songs.
I feel honoured and blessed for all the support from listeners worldwide who have supported my music.
I am passionate about singing, and I strive to improve with every song and keep getting better.
Don't just listen to my songs; listen to any song which you feel would make a change in your life.
From the very beginning, I was clear that it would always be music for me.
I come from a small village in Gurdaspur district.
I am not a rapper. And I believe people in India are not even clear with the whole idea of rap or what it signifies.
I think time has changed everything. Not only music but our surroundings, technology, fashion - everything has changed with time, and it will keep changing every day.
If someone has given a hit in the industry, and everyone talks about the song and artist, that's a hit.
I love my life, and I try to keep my fans happy.
I think you should do Bollywood once you are all into your own market. Doing a Bollywood song for a particular actor or producer, you should be known in the world outside of Bollywood music.
I did my first album with my own record label.
If a new artist comes, and he doesn't have a good record label to invest in him, then there is no point.
I am a simple person and a big fan of Indian cuisine, so whenever I am home, I prefer to eat the simple daal roti.
I don't know cooking at all, but I think I can make simple tea.
Punjabi songs have been a rage in Bollywood since a very long time. The lyrics' beat and the meaning behind them give an emotional touch to their lives and connects with youth.
My songs were already a hit track with over 100 million views/comments and multi-hundred thousand downloads on online websites before coming to Bollywood.
When the audience resonates with my music and sings every single word from the song, the high of performing live is unmatched.
I've always loved making independent music.
When most of my solo/single tracks started making a buzz globally, labels started placing my songs in movies.
There is always space for good music.
Bollywood helps in enabling a platform for many artistes.
I would not like to take credit for all the hard work that I have put in. It's all because of the Almighty. Whatever I have or will get in the future is because of Him.
I can understand criticism coming from people who have met me, but it is off-putting to hear nasty things about myself from people I have never met or even seen in life.
With independent music, I can do what I feel satisfied with, and not feel the pressure of what others expect me to deliver.
I always tell my audiences not to listen to such artists who play audio CDs at their concerts. Such shows shouldn't be called live shows. People like AR Rahman, Sunidhi Chauhan, and Arijit Singh are the ones who hold true concerts.
We are trying our best to spread the culture of Punjabi music all over the world. With the traditional rigid Punjabi music, people always had a myth that the music is very conventional, but nowadays, we are really thrilled to see how people are loving the tunes and beats of Punjabi music.
It won't be fair on my part to name one song that brought me fame, but 'Suit Suit' from 'Hindi Medium' is close to my heart, and it quite turned tables for me.
