Punjabi singer touches 100 million mark
If this song didn't become a hit, I'd have had to leave singing'
He touched many hearts with his song Soch, but it could have been the lost song of singer Hardy Sandhu’s life if it hadn’t become a hit. The singer, who recently became the first Punjabi singer to have 100 million views on his song Backbone, shares an anecdote, “I was left with only Rs 2 lakh and had no money for producing another song. While working on that song, I had thought that this would be the last song of my life if it didn’t become a hit. I would have had to leave singing. But luckily, that song led me to such heights that I’m still singing, and happy about it.”
Like Soch, Backbone is also a romantic song. Released by Sony Music, the song has been penned by Jaani and composed by B-Praak. “The composition of the song is very different and melodious,” says Hardy, adding that he hadn’t expected to reach a whopping 100 million mark with that song.
The Aashqui Te Loan singer, who has been a sensation in the Punjabi music scene, feels that having a good command over the language is very necessary. “Punjabi music has become very popular these days. A singer who has a good command over the language will definitely have an edge,” says Hardy, who finds singer Diljit Dosanjh inspiring. “Diljit is very motivated and I’m very inspired by him,” he says.
