Amid the ongoing controversy surrounding black ticketing allegations at his concerts, Punjabi superstar Diljit Dosanjh has voiced his unwavering support for independent music and his fellow artists. Speaking in a video that has since gone viral, Dosanjh extended his best wishes to artists Karan Aujla and AP Dhillon, both currently on tour and emphasized that this is a pivotal era for independent music in India.
"The time for independent music has started," he declared. "Problems will arise. When there is a revolution, challenges are inevitable. But we will keep working."
A Call for Resilience and Hard Work
Dosanjh also encouraged independent artists to redouble their efforts and stay committed to their craft. "All the independent artists, double your effort and hard work. The time of Indian music has come," he said, reaffirming his belief in the growing recognition of homegrown talent.
Drawing attention to the increasing demand for Indian artists, he noted a significant shift in audience preferences. "Earlier, tickets for international artists were sold in black, and now it’s happening for Indian artists too," he remarked. "This is vocal for local."
A Rising Wave of Indian Talent
Dosanjh’s words come as a rallying cry for independent artists navigating the challenges of the industry. His advocacy for the burgeoning independent music scene underscores the shift in focus toward Indian talent and away from reliance on international acts.
While Dosanjh continues to address the black ticketing controversy head-on, his support for fellow artists and the independent music movement reflects his vision for a thriving and self-reliant Indian music industry.
