While Punjabi music has always captivated with its energetic beats to soulful lyrics, currently a new name has been making waves in the Punjabi music scene – Harsh Likhari. At just 16 years old, Likhari is already making a mark as a talented rapper.

Born and raised in Punjab, Likhari discovered his passion for music at a young age. Influenced by the likes of the late Sidhu Moose Wala, Likhari began writing and composing his own songs as a teenager. Despite initial hesitation, he soon found his voice and began recording his tracks.

One of the highlights of Likhari’s burgeoning career came when he collaborated with international singer Connor Price on the song “Customs.” Price, known for his “Spin the Globe” campaign, which aims to spotlight artists from around the world, chose Likhari for his unique talent and dedication to promoting his culture through music.

For Likhari, music is more than just a creative outlet – it’s a means of representing his roots and heritage. Inspired by his father, who is a Raghi and recites Kirtan in the Gurdwara, Likhari is proud to promote Punjabi roots.

One thing that sets Likhari apart is his refusal to be compared to his idols. While he admires Sidhu Moose Wala and draws inspiration from his music, Likhari believes in carving out his own identity as an artist. He recognizes that each artist has their own unique journey and strives to create music that reflects his personal experiences and aspirations.

As Likhari continues to rise in the music industry, his journey serves as an inspiration to aspiring artists everywhere. With his passion, talent, and unwavering commitment to his roots, he is sure to leave a lasting impact on the world of Punjabi music.
