Sidhu Moose Wala.The Up-and-Coming Star of Punjabi Music is Sidhu Moosewala.

Discover the vibrant Punjabi singer-songwriter Sidhu Moosewala's musical career, which has revolutionised the music industry. We dive into this rising star's life and career in this blog. He is renowned for his alluring voice and inspirational lyrics.

Sidhu Moosewala, a native of Punjab, India, debuted with his single "Licence" in 2017 and quickly gained popularity in the music industry. Since then, he has established a distinct style for himself by fusing modern rap with traditional Punjabi folk music. His songs, which touch on social themes, love, and life's realities, connect with young people.

 "Har passe har thaan. Mera na mera na. Lagge paye aa billboard, har galli har mod. Tere Jatt da ni tod (It's my name, it's my name in every way and place), I feel like a God. My name is on billboards on every street and corner. I feel invincible; no one can stand a chance against me.

These are the lyrics to Sidhu Moose Wala's final song, which was performed by Nigerian singer Burna Boy and published posthumously on April 7 of this year. The song describes the singer-rapper's enormous global recognition, his devoted followers' constant mention of his name, and how he can be seen everywhere on billboards and murals.

Songs that are released posthumously receive countless views.

His influence and significance are evident from the song's million views in just 15 minutes. The singer-rapper was assassinated on May 29 of last year in the Punjabi village of Jawaharke in the Mansa district, one day after the Punjab government cut his security cover, the specifics of which were made public.

Posthumously, three of Moose Wala's songs have been made available. The other two, SYL and Vaar, a song about the Sikh warrior Hari Singh Nalwa, have generated debate. While the song SYL, about the riparian conflict between Punjab and Haryana, was taken down from YouTube, a segment of the Muslim community took issue with the song Hari Singh Nalwa due to a reference to "Muhammad" in it. In his famous song 295, Moose Wala acknowledged that controversy was nothing new and noted that "everyday a new controversy would be created and there would be debates in the name of religion."

as an artist, progress and success
On June 11, 1993, Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu, also known as Sidhu Moose Wala, was born into a farming family in Mansa's Moosa hamlet. He proudly displayed his caste (Jatt) identity by assuming the name Moose Wala, which means someone from the Moosa hamlet, and the surname Sidhu.

Moose Wala's meteoric ascension was unimaginable, as his song "So High," which was published in 2017, nearly overnight captured the attention of the general public. With the help of music producer Byg Byrd, a song with the lyrics "sirr utto langan fly kar ke, ucchiyaan neh gallan tere yaar diyan" went viral and was played nonstop on CDs and in cars.

Though 'So High' was not Moose Wala's debut song—that was G Waggon, a duet with Gurlez Akhtar that was produced by Deep Jandu—it was the song that propelled him to such enormous fame that there was no turning back.

Old films of Moose Wala showed his unassuming and reserved personality.

After his passing, old footage of Moose Wala playing at his college festival have received millions of views, and it is unclear how a shy, unassuming lad with a plain appearance rose to such fame.

A few years before he became well-known, he made an appearance in an episode of the popular show "Canteeni Mandeer" while he was a student at Guru Nanak Dev Engineering College. He introduced himself to the anchor as Shubhdeep Sidhu and told him that his debut song, "Licence," had just been released and was performed by Ninja. He next displayed a portion of his singing, to the enthusiastic ovation of the other college audience membe

Nobody, however, could have imagined that Moose Wala would later go on to establish an entirely new genre of Punjabi music over the course of the following few years. His ability to connect with the audience through a mixture of rustic Punjabi and English language expressed in an informal manner is what set his songs apart from others.

controversy surrounding song lyrics and claims that they glorify gun culture

Many of his songs sparked debate among Punjab's 'panthic' religious leaders. He had referred to the Sikh fighter Mai Bhago from the 18th century in his song Jatti Jeonay Morh Di Bandook Wargi, which Shiromani Akali Dal found offensive and even called for his imprisonment.After being charged with violating the Arms Act for discharging an AK-47, he compared himself to Bollywood star Sanjay Dutt in another song named "Sanju," which was published in July 2020.

His song Panjab (My Motherland), with lyrics like "keh keh ke badle lainda menu Panjab kehnde aa," is dedicated to the farmers' protest. Punjab was portrayed in the song "Delhi vi napp lainda, mainu Panjab kehnde aa" as defending their rights against Delhi's oppression. The Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale-starring video drew criticism for catering to the separatist (Khalistan) cause.

"Misinterpreted and demonised"

People close to the musician claim that he was misunderstood despite the singer's repeated accusations that his songs glorified criminals and gun culture. They contend that his songs don't adequately capture his personality.

Sam Malhi, a DOP who cooperated on seven videos of Moose Wala like US and GOAT alongside music director Sukh Sanghera, revealed some pleasant memories of their time together.

"Moose Wala was among the most trustworthy people I've ever encountered. Despite being such a well-known figure in the industry, he never acted like a movie star and always treated people with respect. I believe this is the reason there was such a global outpouring of mourning following his passing. People identified with his persona as much as his tunes, according to Malhi.

He believes that Moose Wala's passing leaves a significant void in the Punjabi music scene that will never be filled by another artist. "No one else could have brought Punjabi music to a global level the way Moose Wala did. I have no doubt that he would have worked with Drake if he were still alive today. He worked with UK musicians Tion Wayne and Stefflon Don, which was no small accomplishment. To film the music video for their song, Burna Boy travelled to his village. It was therefore obvious that other worldwide artists appreciated his genius, according to Malhi.

The man from Moosa Malhi also stated how they have an unpublished song and video with Moose Wala, but respecting his parents' wishes, he has now left it up to them when they would like to release his music. Also Read | The Ballad of Sidhu Moose Wala: Self-made and volatile.

Moose Wala's co-star in his debut movie, "Yes I am Student," Mandy Takhar, a British-born actress, recalled him as a "grounded and rooted person who loved Punjab, music, and his parents more than anything."

She stated, "He dreamed of bringing Punjabi music to international platforms," in a conversation with The Indian Express. Many people could not do what he did in just five years in the profession. He was one of the best lyricists the profession has ever seen, and he possessed an extraordinary skill. I'm happy we collaborated on his debut movie. She described how he was quiet and reserved on set but that over the course of the shooting days, they developed a comfort level.

preferred for his tunes to speak for him

The way Moose Wala responded to controversies in his songs revealed another side of him. Vijay Singla of the AAP defeated Moose Wala in the Punjab Vidhan Sabha elections, where Moose Wala was running for the incumbent Congress party. Moose Wala received more than 36,000 votes but fell short by more than 63,000. Given that the Aam Aadmi Party defeated the Congress by winning 92 seats and stripping it of its majority in the 117-member assembly, his defeat wasn't particularly embarrassing.

But following the election setback, Moose Wala responded to his loss in the expected manner by producing a song named "Scapegoat." In the song, he referred to those who did not support his party as traitors to the community and even mentioned Bibi Khalra (Paramjit Kaur Khalra, the wife of Jaswant Singh Khalra, who ran for the Lok Sabha as a member of the Punjabi Ekta Party) and Simranjit Singh Mann (a sitting member of the Lok Sabha from Sangrur)

.It is undeniable that Moose Wala would continue to rule the music world with his unreleased tracks and that his legend would endure for some time even as his admirers adjusted to his absence.
