More than two decades ago, Diljit Dosanjh began his musical career by playing the tabla at a Gurudwara in Punjab. This journey from a small Gurudwara to a renowned global stage may be an incredible feat for some, but for Dosanjh it was not an extraordinary transition. “The music is still the same no matter if you’re performing in front of four people or on an enormous stage. Playing the tabla at the Gurudwara was just as important to me as performing in Coachella, although I haven’t done that yet. But I still remember that moment,” Dosanjh recollects with great affection.

Diljit Dosanjh is preparing for his set at the April music festival, following the success of his Born to Shine tour. When asked what it’s like to be on stage with a crowd of enthusiastic fans, Dosanjh replied, “When I’m on stage, it doesn’t feel like I’m performing. I’m in tune with the sound, and I just become a conduit of the music. It’s a really pure process.” He went on to explain that he gets more enjoyment out of making music than he does from making films. “I don’t get the same kind of thrill from shooting films that I do from creating music,” he said.
