I aim to evolve with every song: Karan Aujla
Be it Mexico, Gangsta, Players, God Damn with Badshah or even Tauba Tauba from Bad Newz to name a few, Karan Aujla has given many hip-swaying numbers, making him one of the best Punjabi singers, which he agrees gets pressurising at times, considering that he needs to outrun his previously set benchmark.
Asked if he feels the pressure at times considering he needs to give his best to outrun the previous record, he said, “Absolutely, there’s a certain level of pressure that comes with consistently releasing hit songs.”
The singer, who hails from the Ghurala village in the Ludhiana district of Punjab, agrees that expectations are ‘motivating and daunting.
“Each release brings high expectations from my fans and the industry, which can be both motivating and daunting. I always strive to give my best and while I love creating music, the fear of not meeting those expectations can sometimes be overwhelming,” said Karan, who got his breakthrough with the song Don’t Worry in 2018. “However, I try to focus on my passion for music rather than the charts,” said Karan, who has previously expressed his willingness to collaborate with the rappers 50 Cent and Drake.
The 27-year-old heartthrob believes that creativity flows best when, “I’m not weighed down by pressure.”
“Each song is a new opportunity to express myself and I aim to evolve with every release, exploring different themes and sounds while staying true to my style. Ultimately, I remind myself that the journey is just as important as the outcome,” added the singer.
Aujla, who is all set to perform in several cities in India for his It Was All A Dream World Tour commencing on December 7, describes his music as diverse and experimental.
“I would classify my style as being very diverse and experimental, which allows me to be open-minded and receptive to cultural diversity,” he shared.
From Soch to the latest release Tauba Tauba, all his songs have been chartbusters. Karan said the key ingredient to his music being a hit is ‘its authenticity and relatability’.
“I believe the key to my music striking an emotional chord with people lies in its authenticity and relatability. I’ve always aimed to tell stories that resonate with my audience, reflecting their experiences, emotions and the realities of life,” he shared.
Karan strongly believes that the ‘fusion of cultures’ helps his music stand out.
“It’s all about creating music that speaks to the heart, and I’m thankful that it resonates with so many people,” added the Canada-based artiste. The It Was All A Dream World Tour is presented and produced by Team Innovation and supported by Live Nation. — IANS
