Karan feels blessed by his journey from a small village to international fame, with millions of Spotify listeners and hit songs like “Softly” and “On Top.” He’s known for taking Punjabi music global, alongside stars like Diljit Dosanjh and AP Dhillon.
Despite Bollywood’s pressures to change styles, Karan stayed true to his Punjabi roots in his new Bollywood track.
He aims to balance authenticity with accessibility, making music that resonates globally without losing its essence.
Karan prefers a relaxed approach to music, enjoying the spontaneous process of creating in the studio. He values brotherhood in the industry, which has supported him throughout his career.
As he gears up for his tour, Karan promises an exciting new sound and production. He’s committed to giving fans an unforgettable experience, even if it means investing his own money.
Inspired by artists like Burna Boy and Wizkid, Karan aims to keep his creative process natural and unplanned, believing that’s the best way to succeed.
