AP Dhillon Biography

Amritpal Singh Dhillon, known professionally as AP Dhillon, is a Canadian Punjabi singer, rapper, songwriter and music producer from Mullianwal, Gurdaspur,

Early life and background
Amritpal Singh Dhillon was born on 10 January 1993 in Mullianwal, Gurdaspur, Punjab, India. He attended Little Flower Convent Sr. Sec School in Gurdaspur and later completed a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering from Punjab Technical University (now I. K. Gujral Punjab Technical University) in Kapurthala. After moving to Canada, Dhillon earned a postgraduate degree in Business Administration and Management from Camosun College in British Columbia.

Before concentrating on music full time, Dhillon worked in retail and service roles in Victoria, British Columbia, including positions as a sales associate at an Esso station and at Best Buy. Those early jobs preceded his transition into a professional music career.

Career
AP Dhillon began releasing music in 2019, debuting with the single "Fake" and following up with Punjabi tracks such as "Faraar" and "Top Boy." He released multiple singles across 2020, including "Most Wanted," "Droptop," "Excuses" and "Free Smoke," and was a collaborator on the breakout single "Brown Munde" alongside Gurinder Gill and Shinda Kahlon.

In December 2020 he issued a music collection titled Not By Chance, which featured seven songs including "Saada Pyaar," "Fate," "Takeover" and "Goat." His output continued in 2021 with notable releases such as "Ma Belle" and a set of tracks issued under the album Hidden Gems, which included "Majhe Alle," "Spaceship," "Tere Te" and "War." Many of his recordings have been released in collaboration with singer Gurinder Gill.

Dhillon’s music has found chart recognition: songs have placed on the UK Asian and UK Punjabi charts, with positions including a No. 1 on the UK Asian Chart for "Majhail" and chart placements for "Deadly," "Excuses" and "Brown Munde." Selections from Not By Chance also charted in New Zealand and reached the top five on the Official Punjabi Music chart in the UK.

Live performance has formed part of his career trajectory. In November 2021 he undertook his first live tour in India, billed as AP Dhillon: The Takeover Tour, performing across six cities in partnership with the consumer electronics brand boAt.

Musical skills and media
Dhillon is credited with multiple roles in music production: singer, rapper, songwriter and producer. He also plays instruments including guitar and piano. His profile expanded into visual storytelling with a 2023 Amazon Prime Video docu-series, AP Dhillon: First of a Kind, which explored his professional journey and included behind-the-scenes material.

Public profile
Dhillon holds Canadian nationality. He is commonly described as unmarried. Reports tied him personally to British actress Banita Sandhu after she appeared in his 2023 music video "With You," and those reports were acknowledged publicly in August 2023.

Controversies and incidents
In August 2023 Dhillon faced public criticism after posting promotional imagery for the song "With You" that included multicoloured shoes perceived by some viewers as resembling the Indian tricolour, prompting debate and backlash on social media.

On 1 September 2024 an armed incident occurred outside his residence in Vancouver when members of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang reportedly fired rounds near the property; the incident was connected in reports to dissatisfaction with a music video appearance. The event was described in press accounts and included an accompanying statement from the gang.
