I want to prove that there is no genre I cannot do. I want to take that pride to the next level. There is no club, no place in the world where people do not dance to Punjabi beats. I am flying in a different sky and my aims are different. It is perhaps this philosophy that drives me to keep doing stuff that is different from what my contemporaries and peers are doing. The lyrics have to make sense to me before I can expect others to make sense of them. My songs are a way to introducing myself. A lot of people say my voice and songs are the right mix of modern sounds and folk notes, but I only make sure I am true to my own self when it comes to my songs. Close on the heels of Wakhra Swag, my breakthrough single in 2015, I released another chartbuster, ‘Att Tera Yaar’, that has crossed 15 million hits on Youtube (and still counting). Navv Inder: I chose to follow my inherent passion and favoured music over number crunching despite my MBA in Finance. Here is a freewheeling chat with the heartthrob…įrom being an MBA to being a singer, what has the journey been like so far? Navv Inder is not content resting on his past laurels and is readying for the release of his next track – his version of legendary folk singer Surjit Bindrakhiya’s iconic chartbuster, ‘Yaar Bolda’. The song has a lilting score and a softness and the music isn’t what one expects out of a typical Punjabi song.” I wanted to break the myth that Punjabi music is only on high scales and notes. It is meant to be different! I want to explore all genres of singing. “Yes, people would say Tu Meri Ki Lagdi is a different song from my previous singles. The new age performer launched ‘Tu Meri Ki Lagdi’, written by Navi Kamboz and composed by Mr Nakulogic, Tu Meri Ki Lagdi, with its folksy-meets-urban vibe has struck a chord across age groups. It came as no surprise then that his last release about two months ago was dedicated, in his words, “to all the female fans in particular.” So far he has been known only for his completely different combination of mixing urban and desi music in the chartbusters, Wakhra Swag and Att Tera Yaar. Ever since he broke into the Punjabi music scene with his ‘Wakhra Swag’ in 2015, Navv Inder has garnered a sizeable female fan following.
