In the list of self made youngsters, Indeep Bakshi stands tall ! Known for his hit single - "Saturday Saturday" that topped chart busters, Indeep Bakshi was born on May 23rd 1990. He was a typical Delhi Sikh boy, until recently, who loved the company of his friends in West Delhi. “Gerhi marna”(to roam about aimlessly with friends) and music were his favorite pastimes. But his father Mr. Gurinder Singh Bakshi – a noted Delhi based builder was strict enough to ensure his son acquires a professional degree first. Having acquired a degree in Interior Design, Indeep decided to follow in the footsteps of his father, and started a construction firm 5 years ago. They are licensed builders for townships and residential complexes.

Personal Life

His independent and rebellious streak sparked when he saw a Bentley and expressed his desire to buy it. His rich, yet strict father however refused, telling the young lad “Apney shauk apney bal boote par poorey karo” (To fulfill your desires stand on your own feet). Indeep turned the angst of this refusal into a strong determination and with hope in his heart, set out to his office as interior designer,working day and night to prove to his father that he can stand on his own feet. At 21 years of age he became the proud owner a white Bentley earned from his own hardwork. The successive years saw him creating a fleet of cars for himself. Most of these cares have featured in his music videos too. He’s a big fan of bikes also.

Indeep believes in the policy “Work hard and party harder”. His sense of humor and down to earth attitude is exemplified by his saying “jab Ranbir Kapoor itna grounded hai, toh hum kis khet ki mooli hain”(when Ranbir Kapoor is so grounded then I have no reasons for being high headed) and believes that self made youngsters should give up drinking and drugs, as lasting intoxication is a result of self created wealth, being in control of your life and destiny.

Foray Into Music

Money couldn’t hold this spirited musician for long and he ventured into music putting his business on the back burner. He would frequent the local Gurudwara only to hear the sound of the shabad, hoping that one day he would launch his own album. As cliché as it may sound, the tune for his first song came to him while he was quietly seated in the neighbourhood Gurudwara. “I realized there’s enough money I can make, going by the rate at which I bought my luxury cars, but if I forgot music, then despite the money and cars, I might never experience genuine happiness!”, says Indeep.

Last year Indeep launched a solo hit single – “Saturday Saturday” making him a name to reckon with in the Punjabi Music Industry. While many young Punjabi singers relied on Honey Singh’s success and popularity to launch their own careers, Indeep’s father’s advise “Apney shauk apne bal boote par poore karo” came in handy. Saturday Saturday was one of the few songs sung independently by a new comer and with lesser known artists, and soon became a roaring hit. He is often referred to as “Saturday King”, “The Weekend Singer” etc. The song is a regular at all parties, social gatherings, discos and night clubs. Having earned many titles and accolades, The 2013 Big Spark Awards saw Indeep and his hit single Saturday Saturday win the award for the ‘Most Entertaining Song of the Year’ and a nomination in the ‘Most Popular Song’ award category. Seeing the success of his single, many shows, tours etc. were offered to Indeep. Clear on the fact that money was not his first priority he turned them down to make music for his next album. One year’s hard work showed results, as Sony Music agreed to launch his next album titled "Billionaire" upon the very first hearing of the title track "Madam Jee". Many have already begun to harbor doubts that the song "Madam Jee" is on Mrs. Sonia Gandhi, for whom the metaphor is widely used in the media and in general public. However, Indeep affirms the statutory warning when asked this question “The song bears no resemblance to any person living or dead, but is based on current state of society and current affairs.”
