Background and Education
Billy X, whose real name is not widely publicized, chose his stage name to align with his rapper persona. He felt that his real name didn’t quite fit the image he wanted to project in the music industry. At the time of a 2015 interview, he was pursuing a Master’s program at the University of Technology Sydney.
Musical Journey and Style
Billy X’s passion for music was influenced by a diverse range of artists. Initially inspired by Eminem, he began writing his own rap lyrics. His musical tastes also include bands like Iron Maiden, Blind Guardian, ACDC, and Led Zeppelin, reflecting a broad appreciation for various music genres. In recent years, he has gravitated towards softer rock, drawing inspiration from artists such as The Script, Ed Sheeran, and Damien Rice.
His debut album, “Badshah,” features tracks that blend traditional Punjabi elements with modern rap. Notable songs from the album include:
Anni Da Puttar: Expresses feelings of power and self-destructiveness.
Juttni: A comical take on frustration and disdain towards women, intended humorously.
Kurti: Explores themes related to women and traditional attire.
Baadshah: A self-representative track acknowledging personal realities and pride.
Bechaini: Conveys heartbreak and the helplessness of unexpressed emotions.
Chummi Da Sawal: A playful, mischievous song.
Nehar: A confident, impromptu creation.
Hor Nai: A three-part sequel to “Juttni,” covering traditional Punjabi wedding events—Mehendi, Baraat, and Walima.
Chiknay Khilari: Inspired by Shahzad Khan, focusing on passions for heavy bikes and cars.
Dil Walo Ki Duniya: Originally a soundtrack for Waqar Zaka’s “Living on the Edge,” it evolved into a full song that energizes listeners.
