Dilpreet Dhillon came to New Zealand in 2008 as an international student before moving back to Punjab in 2014 to establish himself in the Punjabi music industry.

“Like any other international student I also had a lot of struggle as a young migrant,” he said.
I worked in the fields, at a pizza store and also as a truck driver before finally moving back to my hometown near Khanna in Punjab in 2014.
Mr Dhillon said that in his plight to become a ‘famous singer’ he had to invest all his savings from New Zealand. 

Mr Dhillon often faces criticism on social media for ‘promoting and glorifying’ violence and gun culture in Punjab.

As an actor, he is known for his work in The Great Sardaar (2017), Jaddi Sardar (2019) and Chandigarh Amritsar Chandigarh (2019).
Mr Sandhu who hails from a small town near Atari, Amritsar is best known for his songs "Teeje Week", "Muchh Rakhi Aa" and "Handsome Jatta".

He made his singing debut with "Muchh Phut Gabruu" and acting debut in Subedar Joginder Singh released in 2018.

He had also won Punjabi Music Best Debut vocalist (Male) Award in 2016 at PTC Punjabi Music Awards.
