I simply can't act or be politically correct all the time," he says. "I'm an entertainer and will continue to mirror society as it is. The self-confessed black sheep of the singing fraternity, this Punjabi pop sensation doesn't give a hoot about being slammed by critics for cuss words in the lyrics of some of his songs. Honey was in Britain for nine years before he came back to India to create music in Punjabi. I used to sing in English but switched to rapping in Punjabi for the audience," he explains. In 2006, my single went to be number one on the BBC world charts. "I started my career as a music producer in 2005. "I'm happiest while creating some sort of drama with my tracks," says Singh.
The rapper turned singer, songwriter, producer and actor is thoroughly enjoying the challenge of popularising Punjabi bhangra rap, a genre known for its edgy, often politically incorrect lyrics.
Therefore, justifiably, Punjab is waiting with bated breath for Mujhe Neat Pila De Sajna, Honey's track in Sunil Bohra's upcoming gangster flick Mastaan, for which the pop bhangra-rapper has been paid a whopping Rs 70 lakh making him the most expensive singer in Bollywood history. His songs Brown Rang and Dope Shope are a staple on radio channels and even stars such as Kareena Kapoor have professed their admiration for him.Īnd if that wasnt enough, Honey has been winning the PTC Punjabi Best Music Director award for four years in a row, and his album International Villager has become the highest grossing Punjabi album of all time. Possibly the biggest thing to ever hit the Punjabi music scene, Yo-Yo Honey Singh who has the nation grooving to his song Angrezi Beat in the Bollywood movie, Cocktail needs no introduction in Punjab.
