Jaskaran Singh Aujla, known professionally as Karan Aujla, was born on January 18, 1997, in Ghurala village, Ludhiana district, Punjab, India. He experienced significant personal loss early in life, losing his father at age nine and his mother at fourteen. Raised by his sisters and uncle, Aujla found an outlet in writing. His musical journey commenced as a lyricist for other artists, including Jassi Gill, for whom he wrote “Range” in 2014. That same year, Aujla relocated to Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, living with his sister and attending Burnaby South Secondary School. During this period, he continued to cultivate his songwriting skills while working part-time as a longshoreman in Surrey to support himself.
Aujla’s transition from songwriter to lead artist began with his debut song “Property of Punjab” in 2016, although his earlier track “Cell Phone” in 2014 was a commercial failure. He achieved significant recognition in 2018 with “Don’t Worry,” a song that garnered over a hundred million views on YouTube and marked his first entry into the UK Asian music chart. This breakthrough was followed by a series of successful releases, including “Rim vs Jhanjhar” and “No Need.” His song “Don’t Look” maintained a presence on the Asian Music Chart for over twenty-four weeks. By 2019, Aujla became one of the most-listened artists in Punjab on YouTube and was listed by Spotify as one of the most popular artists in the Punjabi Music Industry.
The 2020s saw Aujla solidify his status as an established artist. His single “Jhanjar” accumulated over five million YouTube views within 24 hours of release, topping trending charts in Australia, Canada, and India. That year, several of his singles, including “Jhanjar,” “Red Eyes,” “Sheikh,” and “Chitta Kurta,” simultaneously appeared on the UK Asian chart. In 2021, his debut album, “Bacthafucup” (BTFU), peaked at number 20 on Billboard Canadian Albums and was ranked as India’s Biggest Digital Artist on Spotify. Subsequent albums like “Making Memories” (2023) and collaborative work “Street Dreams” (2024) continued to chart prominently. In 2024, Aujla became the first Punjabi Canadian to win the TikTok JUNO Fan Choice award and was featured in Apple Music’s Up Next Program. He announced his third studio album, “P-Pop Culture,” in 2025 and also collaborated with Ed Sheeran on his EP “Play (The Remixes).
