As well as fashion and acting, Diljit has been making waves around the world with music too.
In 2023, he became the first Punjabi star to play Coachella, following that up with an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon in 2024.
He says he purposely chose to sing Punjabi folk and bhangra tracks during the performance rather than some of his more western-inspired songs.
“If I’ve been given the chance to be on that stage, if I can showcase our music, our beats, then that’s a big deal,” he says.
He recently released a dance track with Korean star Jackson Wang, went viral on social media with Will Smith and brought out Ed Sheeran during his UK tour.
“It’s my intention if my song becomes a massive international hit then I want it to be Punjabi in feel, the beat, it needs a dhol in it,” he says.
“Otherwise what’s the point if it’s the same as someone else’s style?”
