Nikki Rowe had said,
You’ll never hear the lyrics until they start singing your story.
And when it comes to singing stories of people, not many singers are willing to take that path because of the low commercial yield involved. But time and again, every line of employment conceives individuals who are courageous enough to take the road less traveled.
And when it comes to Punjabi Music Industry, it’s the legendary singer Gurdas Maan who has been plotting his own trajectory for 3 decades now. From exuding optimism to carrying a current of melancholy, he has done it all through his songs.
His versatility is really unprecedented. He is one of those few singers whose music has found space in everyone’s heart irrespective of their position on the age spectrum.
Despite the decreasing frequency of his incoming songs in the recent past, his mesmerizing voice and soul-penetrating words still continue to resonate with the listeners.
