Her repertoire also includes popular favourites such as Zaalima, Nachde Ne Saare, Uff and Jhak Maar Ke. Her rendition of Dilbaro earned her the IIFA Award for Best Female Playback Singer in 2019, further cementing her standing as one of the most distinctive voices in Indian playback music.
Beyond Bollywood, Harshdeep has collaborated with leading composers, including A.R. Rahman, Amit Trivedi, Vishal-Shekhar and Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy. She has also lent her voice to the Hollywood film 127 Hours, featured on Coke Studio India and served as a coach on The Voice India, with her team winning the competition in 2019. With Noor-E-Ishq: Songs of the Soul, audiences can look forward to an immersive live musical experience that celebrates the many shades of her artistry.
