A Punjabi artist from Gurdaspur with flows as sharp as his pen game. Since linking with Manni Sandhu and Collab Creations, he's been on a relentless creative tear — dropping breakout single "Rumours" in 2024, then following it with his debut album A Kid From Gurdaspur (2025), a project that showed exactly what he's about: hard bars, infectious hooks, and a sound that pulls from the streets of Punjab and the studios of the UK in equal measure. From the club-ready "Ryde or Die" to the lyrical muscle of "Lyrical Exercise II", Chinna doesn't pick one lane — he drives through all of them. With over 2 million monthly listeners on Spotify and momentum that keeps building, this is just the beginning.
The architect. Manni Sandhu is the British-Punjabi producer and co-founder behind Collab Creations — a man who has spent two decades quietly shaping what modern Punjabi music sounds like. Raised in Southall and Newcastle, he started remixing tracks at 13 and was producing from his bedroom by 15, blending UK garage, bhangra, and hip-hop into something the scene had never heard before. His 2012 debut album My Time produced viral hits "Sona" and "Door Ni Kulne" — among the first Punjabi music videos to rack up millions of views on YouTube. Since then, he's been the name behind some of the genre's biggest moments: "Gani" with Akhil, "Majhail" with AP Dhillon, a run of back-to-back hits with Tegi Pannu, and most recently, Param's history-making debut "That Girl." Two-time BAMA winner. Over 3.2 million monthly listeners on Spotify. Still just getting started.
Param is 19 years old, from a small village in Moga, Punjab — and she just made history. Her debut single "That Girl", produced by Manni Sandhu and released via Collab Creations in September 2025, became the first track by an Indian female artist to hit #1 on Spotify's Global Viral 50, trending simultaneously in India, Canada, and the UK. Recorded not in a polished studio but in an Airbnb in Punjab — because that's just how the vibe fell — the song is a manifesto: raw, fearless, and rooted in the Malwa Punjabi culture she grew up in. In a male-dominated rap scene that rarely makes space for women, Param didn't ask for a seat. She built her own table. One to watch doesn't quite cover it.
Tegi Pannu is the Amritsar-born, Sydney-based artist who turned the Punjabi music scene on its head with a run of releases that nobody saw coming. Signed to Collab Creations in 2021, he dropped "Into You", "Schedule", "Fully Loaded", and "Untouchable" in rapid succession — each one bigger than the last, each one charting on the UK Asian Music Chart and UK Punjabi Charts. His debut EP Disturbing the Peace (2022) cemented him as a headline act, and the collab EP Switchin' Lanes (2023) with Sukha proved he can build a moment as much as he can command one. With a voice that moves between melodic R&B and street-level rap, and a style that bridges India, Australia, and the UK, Tegi is one of the defining faces of where Punjabi music is going.
