Born in Bhadaur, Punjab, India on December 14, 1994, singer and songwriter Arjan Dhillon is best known for his work in Punjabi music. His recordings combine elements of pop, hip-hop, and bhangra music. After earning his Master of Performing Arts from Kurukshetra University, his musical career began in 2017 as a lyricist, co-writing songs for artists such as Nimrat Khaira, Nishawn Bhullar, Ranjit Bawa, and others. Arjan Dhillon made his debut as a singer in 2018 with the song "Ishq Jeha Ho Gya," which was featured in the film Afsar. His first non-soundtrack solo release was the single “Shera Samb Lai” in 2019. After two more singles – “Jatt di Janeman” and “Uber,” both released in 2020 – he released his commercial break through single, “Bai Bai.” This was followed by several more popular songs including “My Fellas,” “Kala Jaadu,” and “Mull Pyar Da.” Arjan Dhillon released his debut EP, The Future, in November 2020. Five singles followed in 2021 including “Gutt,” which received more than 50 million streams. He continued to write songs for other artists and recorded his first collaboration with Shipra Goyal. In November 2021, Arjan Dhillon released his solo album, Awara, which featured the singles “Score” and “Shama Payia.” The album reached the Top 10 on several streaming platforms. Capitalizing on the success of his debut album, he wasted no time in preparing his next album and released the singles “Votaan” and “Jawani” in early 2022. That same year, he also collaborated with Nimrat Khaira on her album Nimmo. In October of 2022, Arjan Dhillon released his album Jalwa, which was followed one month later by the album A for Arjan. His 2023 album Saroor was his most commercially successful album to date, reaching number 7 on the Canadian charts and number 24 in New Zealand. The album featured the hit single “Ilzaam,” which reached number 26 on the UK Asian Singles chart. Released in February 2024, his album Chobar was another international success and included the singles “Glorious” and “Hot Shit.” Later that year, Arjan Dhillon followed Chobar with Manifest - EP, a six-track release produced with MXRCI and led by songs such as “Opinion,” “Jeona” and “Fly.” He closed the year with Patander, a 16-track album that kept his output moving between Punjabi pop, rap and folk-rooted writing, with tracks including “Brats” and “Dunia.” In 2025, he released “Ok Hoye Paye Haan,” the six-track EP THE REVOLUTION and “Jindey” with MXRCI, then issued two albums on the same day: A for Arjan 2 and Shikhar. The latter showed a more literary side, adapting work linked to Punjabi poets including Shiv Kumar Batalvi, Surjit Patar and Jagtar Singh. In 2026, Arjan Dhillon returned with Enigma, a 13-track album with MXRCI that included “No Shortcut,” “Counting Gems,” “Skyfull,” “420 Miles” and “One Call Away,” a collaboration with Jazzy B.
