Punjabi singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh has become a global sensation, celebrating his remarkable rise with fans worldwide.
From headlining Coachella in 2023 to performing at packed arenas for his Dil-Luminati Tour, Dosanjh has broken barriers in both music and film.
His journey from Dosanjh Kalan, Jalandhar, to becoming an international name began in the mid-2000s with his hit albums like Smile (2005) and Chocolate (2008), followed by a successful acting career that kicked off in 2011.
His Bollywood debut in Udta Punjab (2016) earned him widespread acclaim and a Filmfare Award for Best Male Debut, while his role in Good Newwz (2019) further cemented his position in Indian cinema.
In 2024, Dosanjh starred as the legendary Punjabi singer Amar Singh Chamkila in Amar Singh Chamkila, a Netflix release that added another layer to his multifaceted career.
On the global music front, Diljit’s 11th album, G.O.A.T., topped Billboard’s charts, making history as the first Indian artist to have three albums on the Billboard charts.
In addition, his partnership with Warner Music played a significant role in taking Punjabi music to international audiences. His Coachella 2023 performance made history as the first-ever Punjabi artist to perform at the prestigious festival, solidifying his global reach.
The Dil-Luminati Tour of 2024 marked another monumental achievement, with over 215,000 attendees and earnings surpassing $27 million according to private publication, making it the largest North American tour by a Punjabi artist.
The tour took Dosanjh from North America to Australia, New Zealand, and Europe, where he wowed fans in cities like Paris, London, and Amsterdam, and was even featured on The Jimmy Fallon Show, where Fallon hailed him as "the biggest Punjabi artist on the planet."
