Ahead of his performance at NH7 Weekender in Pune, Punjabi singer-songwriter Talwinder Singh Sidhu opens about the emotional honesty that shapes his music. Known for soulful tracks like Pal Pal and Wishes, the artiste says his songs are rooted in real experiences and are meant to remind listeners that they are not alone in their struggles.
“I can’t speak for other Punjabi artists, but for me what separates my music and makes it stand out is that it comes from real, genuine feelings. Nothing is ever written just for the sake of it; it’s all truth. I make music for one reason: if someone out there is going through something I’m singing about, I want them to know they’re not alone. Everyone has ups and downs,” Talwiinder said.
