Punjabi super-producer and artist thiarajxtt, one of the most in-demand names in the genre, is continuing to see global momentum as his single “Jogi” gains traction through an organic viral dance trend across social platforms.
Originally released in Summer 2025 via Universal Music Canada, “Jogi” (feat. Bir) has experienced strong week-over-week growth across streaming and social platforms since November, driven by sustained creator engagement.
The track currently sits at #19 on Spotify’s Viral Songs chart in Pakistan and #42 in India, and previously peaked at #66 in the UAE. “Jogi” has now surpassed 5.1 million global audio streams. Over the past two weeks alone, Instagram Reels activity has tripled, with the sound generating more than 32 million views and 146,000 creates, while TikTok views are approaching 10 million and continue to climb.
Reflecting the record’s growing impact, thiarajxtt currently ranks at #163 on Spotify’s Top Artists chart in Pakistan, while “Jogi” has entered Spotify’s Top Songs chart in the country at #127.
The dance trend was initiated organically by Hafeez Bilal, one of Pakistan’s leading dance creators, alongside his partner Dania. Their original video has amassed over 2 million views, inspiring thousands of interpretations from creators worldwide, including Sakshi Shrivas, Justin D’Cruz, Ayush Kumar, and others.
“Jogi” is a Punjabi ballad exploring devotion and transcendence. Bir’s lyrics portray a love so powerful it borders on the divine, drawing inspiration from the legendary tale of Heer Ranjha. He likens his emotional surrender to becoming a jogi — a wandering ascetic — abandoning the material world in pursuit of love.
Musically, the track blends Afrobeats and R&B influences and marks thiarajxtt’s latest collaboration with Bir. The pair have worked closely over the years, including on the hit track “Afterhours,” which has amassed hundreds of millions of streams globally.
With sustained organic engagement and expanding international reach, “Jogi” continues to build momentum as a long-tail global record.

Hailing from the village of Harkhowal near Hoshiarpur, Punjab, the now Toronto-based thiarajxtt aka Dilmanjot Singh Thiara picked up mixing and producing music back in 2007 via computer gear left behind by his family visiting from Australia. He grew obsessed with it to the point that others would play sports or games, but thiarajxtt would spend hours on Virtual DJ.
After moving to Canada in 2019, a chance encounter with Shubh in Brampton led thiarajxtt to co-produce, record, mix and master the breakthrough melodic Punjabi hip-hop hit “We Rollin.”
thiarajxtt’s smooth blend of hip-hop, trap, and R&B permeates throughout “Kinni Kinni” hitmaker Diljit Dosanjh’s 2023 album Ghost as well as songs like “Spain” by Jassa Dhillon. After releasing an experimental EP Heartfelt in 2023, thiarajxtt now has his sights set on “producer empowerment,” as he calls it – breaking barriers and laying down the foundation for new and legendary Punjabi artists to be on the same project. His 2024 EP If The Sun Had A Dark Side begun that mission, and he continues to revolutionize the global Punjabi music world with new music throughout 2026.
