Famous Punjabi singer AP Dhillon has been creating a buzz in the music industry by blending the genres of pop, hip-hop, R&B, and electronic dance music (EDM). Known for his soulful and earthy voice, Dhillon’s songs like *Afsos*, *Excuses*, *With You*, and *Brown Munde* have defined an entire generation’s perception of Punjabi music.
It is a well-known fact that many major Punjabi singers, including Diljit Dosanjh and Guru Randhawa, have worked extensively with the Bollywood industry. However, this has not been the case with AP Dhillon. Recently, the singer revealed the reason behind this, despite receiving offers from multiple big stars.
### Why Has AP Dhillon Not Made a Bollywood Song Yet?
In a candid conversation with YouTube channel SMTV, Dhillon opened up about why he has not ventured into Bollywood music. He explained that his decision stems from a concern for artists and their treatment within the industry.
“I’ll tell you why I’ve never done a Bollywood song yet. It’s only because I care for my people. It’s not about Bollywood. I want to set an example for my people,” Dhillon said. He added, “I told them that I’m happy to do a song for them, but they must first change the way they do business. They exploit the song and the artist for their own profit.”
The singer did not name any individuals but revealed that several huge actors have shown interest in featuring his music in their films. “A couple of huge actors said that they want my music in their film. I made the song; we even had the scene in mind. But they want to own the song; they want the rights to the song, the remix rights; they want to exploit it. That’s not correct,” Dhillon shared.
### A Call for Solidarity Among Artists
Dhillon emphasized the importance of solidarity among artists, especially those in influential positions. He expressed his desire to protect young artists from exploitation, stating that senior A-listers need to reconsider their collaborations with producers and industry players who take advantage of emerging talent.
“I don’t want a young artist to lose out on their source of income by selling their hit song. I don’t want them to be exploited. But the only problem is that the other A-listers are still giving songs,” he remarked.
By standing firm on his principles, AP Dhillon hopes to inspire change in the industry, ensuring fair treatment and respect for artists at all levels.
