Punjabi-Canadian hitmaker Ikky saw a funny Tik Tok about what people could expect from his supporting set for Karan Aujla at his longtime collaborator's ongoing It Was All A Dream India tour. "It was like a POV: he changes the song every 30 seconds," Ikky says with a laugh.

Born Ikwinder Singh, he's been a vital force behind some of Aujla's biggest hits, including "Admirin' You" and "Softly" from 2023 album Making Memories. The 23-year-old has also collaborated with hitmakers like Shubh ("Baller"), Diljit Dosanjh ("Chauffeur" with Canadian hip-hop artist Tory Lanez and "Akh Laal Jatt Di") and Jay Sean, among others. On the industry side, Ikky is also the founder of the label 4N Records and was tapped to be creative director of 91 North Records, the result of a partnership between Warner Music India and Warner Music Canada.
