The music sensation of India, Guru Randhawa who is upping his game with every song of his is glad to represent India on the global platform. The singer who has turned his game with his independent singles like Ban Ja Tu Meri Rani and Suit Suit finding their way into Bollywood projects is giving back to back hits now.
Now, the Punjabi star has made waves in the international circuit too. His single, Lahore, which released in December, has bagged the 21st spot on Billboard's official YouTube chart of the most trending songs. Randhawa shares space on the coveted list with international biggies like Luis Fonsi, Demi Lovato and Ed Sheeran, among others.
"It was my dream to feature on Billboard with my independent music. I'm overwhelmed," says Randhawa, who stresses the number has all the ingredients to become a global chartbuster. "From an international video and upbeat sound to simple lyrics, it can be enjoyed by people across age groups."
Randhawa, 26, says the achievement indicates that indie music is seeing a revival in the country. "My singles were liked so much that some of them made their way into Bollywood. With Lahore entering the chart, it proves that an independent artiste can do without Bollywood as well." The hitmaker is the fifth Indian artiste to find pride of place on Billboard's chart. "This has encouraged me to work harder. I always wanted to represent my country on a global platform. I'm glad it's happening."
We wish Guru all the very best for his upcoming projects and hope that he keeps us entertaining throughout his journey!
