As one of Punjabi and bhangra music's fresher faces, singer and actor Ammy Virk has absorbed the genre's folk heritage and history while updating it with a more beat-driven feel, giving his music a commercial appeal that's reached a global Punjabi audience. The pop and dance influences are readily discernible despite the quintessentially Punjabi rhythms that define his style as on “Haan Kargi”. But Virk can also switch things up for more emotional material as on the ballad “Taara”, nominated for Most Romantic Ballad of the Year in 2015.
