#RISEOFREGIONAL: JASSIE GILL

THE PAST 12 MONTHs have been nothing short of a post-apocalyptic tale all gone wrong. While we each made amends in our ways, silently praying for the gloomy skies of the pandemic to clear, music was the unifying force binding us all. Many went back to their comfort artists, while others took the opportunity to unearth regional gems within the Indian music industry.

One such artist that many found worthy of their streaming diet was Jassie Gill-- the rising Prince of Punjabi pop.

Born Jasdeep Singh Gill in Ludhiana, Gill was destined for fame. Youngest amongst his siblings, Gill was often pushed to meet the exceptional academic standards set by his sisters. Soon, Gill went on to study music formally in college along with physical education. Though the two were means of racking up his grades, Gill's professors were instantly impressed when they first heard him sing. Entranced, they committed themselves to train him for local youth festivals where Gill placed second four times consecutively.
