Sukhwinder Singh On Embracing Independent Music
In recent years, Sukhwinder Singh has ventured into the realm of independent music, aiming to create fresh content without external pressures. He acknowledges the growing international reach of Indian indie music, emphasizing the need for unique and classic content. “Many artists are doing exceptionally well in the independent space,” he notes.
Passion Beyond Platforms
Despite his strong presence in Bollywood, Singh’s passion for music transcends platforms. “Whether it’s Bollywood or indie, my passion remains the same,” he asserts. He appreciates the freedom that independent music offers, allowing artists to express their own stories and voices.
Music with a Mission
Beyond entertainment, Singh is driven by a mission to inspire and uplift.

Having his own channel provides him the freedom to pursue this vision.
Inspiration from Around the World
Singh’s travels have been a source of inspiration for his music. A recent experience in Mexico, where he performed for guests arriving on horseback in cowboy outfits, sparked the idea for his independent song “Nagini.” Collaborating with Punjabi poet Babu Singh Maan, Singh infused the track with a Punjabi fragrance while keeping it in Hindi.
