Dilpreet Dhillon (Punjabi Singer) Biography

Punjabi singer, actor and lyricist Dilpreet Dhillon, born Amrinder Singh Dhillon, rose to prominence with the 2014 song that brought him mainstream success

Early life and background

Amrinder Singh Dhillon, known professionally as Dilpreet Dhillon, was born on 24 August 1991 in Fatehgarh Sahib, Punjab, India. Raised in a Sikh Jatt family, he completed his schooling at Sant Ishar Singh Ji Memorial Public School in Ludhiana. After finishing school he went to New Zealand to pursue his graduation, where he supported himself with a variety of part-time jobs and later worked as a truck driver to save money for his music ambitions.

Physical details often mentioned in public profiles list him at about 175 cm (5'9") and around 65 kg, with light brown eyes and black hair. He has a tattoo on his right shoulder.

Career

Dilpreet launched his recording career in 2014. His first widely noticed release was the song that brought him a breakthrough in the Punjabi music scene. In 2016 he expanded into film, making his acting debut in Once Upon a Time in Amritsar, and that same year he released his debut album titled 8 Kartoos.

Over the years he has recorded a number of popular Punjabi tracks that became part of his catalogue, including songs that fans recognize such as Gulab, Gunday Returns, Thar Vala Yaar, Shreaam Apni, Fire Bolde, and Yaar Khade Ne. He also wrote lyrics for some of his work and has been credited as a lyricist in addition to his roles as singer and actor.

Public profile

Dhillon maintains a public presence that mixes his professional output with personal touches. He has shared music videos on television and digital platforms; in 2018 he and his wife made a pre-wedding music video that featured his singing. Personal details that have circulated in media coverage include his fondness for dogs—he keeps several American Bullys—and his close relationship with his nephew.

He comes from a middle-class background and lived in a joint family in Fatehgarh Sahib. After moving to New Zealand for higher education and work, he returned to India to pursue his music career. One of the early milestones he recalls is saving money from his time driving trucks abroad to fund his first song. He has said that early efforts to connect with producers were not always successful, including initial rejection when he first approached the production team Desi Crew.

Latest updates

Public reporting has noted two instances that brought media attention beyond his music. In June 2020 a private phone call involving his wife became public and led to a widely discussed exchange and a public statement from Dilpreet asking for privacy and support for his family. In December 2022 he was among several Punjabi singers who were summoned by law enforcement in connection with a high-profile investigation; media outlets reported the summons and earlier questioning by authorities.

Personal life

Dilpreet married Amber Dhillon on 15 January 2018. His family includes his parents—his father formerly held a principal position—and a brother, Manpreet Dhillon, who works as a police inspector. He has described himself as a graduate, and lists interests such as swimming, listening to music and watching movies. He has identified Italian food as a favorite cuisine, and names among his musical influences and admired singers figures from the Punjabi scene.

Other notes

Dilpreet was a classmate of fellow Punjabi singer Jassi Gill. A widely circulated set of false social-media posts in 2016 claimed he had been injured in a car accident and even reported his death; those turned out to be fabricated. He has mentioned that the first car he bought with his own earnings was an Innova.
