Your song, Tha Tha, has crossed six million views since two weeks of its release. Tell us about it and how it's different from your latest releases - Woofer, Vamos and Lado Rani?
Tha Tha is a special number. The desi song was made to introduce my friend, Preet Singh, to the music industry. Fateh Doe has amazing rap parts in it and Zora Randhawa has a cameo in the video. My album, Global Injection, contains different types of songs [and Tha Tha is the fourth release]. While Woofer is a hip-hop, urban song, Vamos was more reggaeton and moombahton. Lado Rani is a dance number, so we decided Tha Tha would have a desi flavour. It reminds you of North India.
It seems like only uptempo numbers appeal to you.
I have created many slow-paced songs, but, people remember me only for my club bangers. I love slow-paced numbers. In fact, I had planned to include a couple of them in my album, but we went ahead with the energetic ones [to keep the album uniform]. I am planning to release another album that will only have slow songs. It will mostly feature Sufi numbers. I am working on a Sufi EP.
Why have you stayed away from Bollywood for a while?
I feel, I have earned enough respect all over the world for the work I do. If Bollywood requires my style, the makers are welcome to knock at my door. I am only making music that the public enjoys. I can't stick to formula, and, that's why, I maintain a distance from Bollywood. My fans got a taste of my music (Kamlee) in Happy New Year (2014). I also did three songs (Bam Bam, Billi Kat Gayee and Hum To Yaaro Latak Gaye) in Kapil Sharma-starrer Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon (2015). I'm sure I'll do more films in the future.
In fact, I have a collection of songs that can make it to Hindi or Punjabi films, but I haven't approached music companies or production houses yet. As soon as I'm done with this album, I'll concentrate on that.
