We trace Blitzkrieg’s journey from a Punjabi household in Mississauga to UK breakthroughs and two decades of work shaping South Asian Canadian hip hop. We also get real about surviving cancer and a motorcycle crash, then turning that urgency into music, live performance, and a culture-first business. 

• Growing up in Toronto between Punjabi media at home and hip hop outside 
• Discovering representation through Apache Indian and starting to rap early 
• Getting played by Punjabi MC and landing opportunities across the UK scene 
• Choosing education and marketing work to build stability alongside music 
• Being diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma and letting go of fame chasing 
• Surviving a serious motorcycle crash and refusing to sit on unreleased ideas 
• Thinking about legacy and supporting the next generation of South Asian Canadian artists 
• Building Broken Rickshaw to bring South Asian inspiration into the liquor market 
• Favourite collaborations and the mindset behind experimenting across genres 
• Creating unplugged live Punjabi hip hop with a band plus rock and jazz roots
