Regarded as one of the greatest Punjabi artists of his generation, Sidhu was shot dead on May 29, while he was in his village in Mansa district.
Slain at the age of 28, the Punjabi hip-hop star had become a globally celebrated figure with his high-octane songs and rapping skills.
While Moose Wala's first song was ''G Wagon" in 2017, he got his breakthrough with the song "So High". The high-beat song won the 2017 Best Lyricist award at the Brit Asia TV Music Awards.
In 2018, Sidhu dropped his first album PBX 1, which debuted at number 66 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart. The album comprising hits like ''Jatt Da Muqabala", "Badfella" and "Dawood'', became top Indian pop albums.
Released in 2021, the album single-handedly topped all other Punjabi songs and global charts. The tracks of the album charted globally including Billboard Global 200, Canadian Hot 100, UK Asian, and New Zealand Hot charts among others.
In 2021, Sidhu Moose Wala became the first Punjabi and Indian singer to perform at Wireless Festival. Not only this, but he also became the first-ever turban-wearing man to perform in the festival's history.
In 2020, The Guardian named Sidhu among 50 up-and-coming artists. The list included some most prominent names of pop culture like Normani, and El Alfa. Also, he's the first and only Indian-origin singer, who has won four awards at the Brit Asia TV Music Awards.
Even after his death, Sidhu Moose Wala made history as he became the first Punjabi singer to make it to the Billboard Global 200 Chart. His super hit song ''295'', released last July, was placed at 154 on the global music chart.
