Hungama Artist Aloud, a platform that supports and promotes independent artists and their creations, released Harmeet Singh Sodhi’s latest song ‘Door Door’. The emotion called love is universal, probably the reason why they say it feels like eternity, while the experience of staying away from someone you adore is the most difficult. This melodious song is perfect for the youth, and Harmeet’s voice, presentation and expressions add a unique feel to it.
Harmeet is a singer, who is pursuing his MBA from the Indian Institute of Management, Kozhikode. There is another feature in his cap, he has been selected as one of the 75 most creative minds of India. His musical journey started at a very early age by reciting ‘Shabad’ in notable Gurudwaras across the nation. While he was in school, he explored and experimented composing and singing songs for different school functions. Since then, he has been persistently honing his skill and practicing his craft.
Meanwhile, Harmeet is also into formulating International Business strategies for multinational corporations. Amalgamating his business acumen and singing prowess, Harmeet is here to win over the audiences.

1. Can you tell us about your new song Door Door. What is it about?
The song takes you on a journey of a relationship that goes through laughter, happiness, confusion, emotional rush, and love, which has no leaps and bounds. It’s a narrative about anyone and everyone who has been in love and has experienced the sorrow of their partner falling out of love. The one who is moving on tells the other one to start staying away, i.e., “Oo kehnda Maithu Door Door Door hona shuru kar de.”
3. How did music happen to you?
In the initial 16 years of my singing, I was only and only involved in Gurudwaras. So, predominantly, it was all the religious shabads until then. When I was in school (11th class), my friend got selected in the district-level Punjabi folk competition. I just wanted to go to the competition to avoid the classes and offered to pick up all the instruments if the team took me along. Since I spent a lot of time in the music room, I got familiarised with the song.
Now, when we reached the venue, and my friend climbed up the stage, somehow he could not perform. So, our school was given another chance and were asked if we had any other singer or wanted to try once more.
That’s when music ( Song domain) happened to me. I won the 2nd prize in the district-level competition.
4. You are pursuing your MBA too. How are you coping up with your studies and music?
It’s very tiring and frustrating. Yes, passion infuses a lot of energy in you, but singing and producing a commercial song are two different realms. Sometimes it leads to grade drop. But, I think when you start singing and producing a good product, it gratifies your soul and makes every sacrifice worth it.
5. Future plans and collaborations
My future plan is simple: keep searching for good music, keep working on the compositions, and be an astute business manager. I think an act of selling your song and curating marketing strategies to reach the masses is a must for any and every singer. Although I have just arrived in the industry and am learning the hard way, it’s the most rudimentary skill one has to acquire or should have innately.
Talking about the collaborations, I have 2 songs in my repository as of now. One is peppy, and one is a sad song.
