If you have even a passing acquaintance with social media, you’ve heard AP Dhillon’s music. Mixing the mellow tones of R&B with the swagger of hip-hop and rap, Dhillon has given popular Punjabi music a very distinctive makeover. And listeners love it. Songs like “Brown Munde”, “Desires” and “Insane” became the soundtrack for millions of Instagram videos and clocked more than half a billion streams on Spotify. He’s not just an online sensation. His six-city tour in December 2021 was a massive success, despite some Covid-19 regulations being in place.
