EXCLUSIVE: Modern Ranjha singer Singhsta on BEST advice by Honey Singh; Wishes to collaborate with Neha Kakkar

Singhsta aka Manpreet Singh has made many people groove to the peppy tracks of Modern Ranjha. The song dropped on April 2, and within 20 days has crossed the mark of 11 million on YouTube. Yes, you read that right! We, at Bollywood Bubble, got in touch with this young and talented music artist, Singhsta. From his bond with Honey Singh to his songs and future collaborations, we spoke to him at length.

Ask him about the massive response on Modern Ranjha, Singhsta says, “The feeling is great, people are really liking it. I’m very happy with the response and love I’m receiving.” He further adds, “This is the official solo track, which I have written, composed, sung and performed. The track was created in 2017, but it is being released now. We were busy with other tracks and so thought it was the right time to drop it.”

Honey Singh and Singhsta have worked in several tracks together like Makhna, Dil Chori, Billo Tu Agg and many others. When asked about his bond with Honey Singh, Singhsta said, “Even we did not realise that our bond has grown so strong with time. During our very first interaction on messages, we ended up creating a song via voice notes. Then, we met each other personally after 6 months, but it did not feel like we’re meeting for the first time. Honey sir shared all of his experiences with me and gave a new perspective to look at life. Besides music, I’ve learnt a lot about life from him, and his vibes are just magical. It does not feel like I’ve known him for some years but rather it feels like I know him for a lifetime. It is a blessing to be mentored by him.”

Singhsta went on to reveal the best advice received by Honey Singh. “He advised me to have ‘patience.’ Though many tell this, when it came from him, I understood its value. Honey sir told me, ‘Patience rakho, cheezein apne aap aayegi aapke pass. Just focus on your work,” Singhsta shared.

The young talented singer had joined Honey Singh for the song, Billionaire in Saif Ali Khan starrer Bazaar. Though he had a small part, the experience was very different and exciting for him. When asked about which music personality he wishes to collaborate with in the future, Singhsta promptly too, Neha Kakkar’s name. “I am looking forward to collaborating with Neha Kakkar. I eagerly want to do a song with Neha, to be very honest. Also, I wish to sing a song for Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone,” he revealed.

The Punjabi Munda does not want to be put in a mould and wishes to experiment. “I want to do different and all types of songs. Be it romantic, emotional or party songs, I want to explore every genre. My ultimate aim is to make everybody feel what they’re listening to. My next track is an emotionally romantic number. I want to do every type of song that touches music lover’s hearts,” he told us.

Lastly, when asked his opinion on remix songs, Singhsta said, “No song can ever be complete. 70s songs were remixed in 90s then they go re-remixed. So, I feel no song can ever be complete, there is no end to it. While the old songs are gold, new versions are of them are also nice. If I ever remix a song, I will make sure that it matches the level of the original track. The recreational version should be good enough to be compared with the OG one. If not good or bad, the remix song should be worthy.”
