Simar

Simar is a Toronto based Punjabi singer, songwriter, and composer who's redefining what it means to be a modern South Asian artist. Her music fuses the energy of hip-hop, the soulfulness of R&B, and the brightness of pop, always anchored by her Punjabi roots. Every track is a reflection of her unique voice: authentic, bold, and unmistakably her own. Simar stands out not just for her talent, but for her story. As one of the few Punjabi women writing, singing, and composing in both Punjabi and English, she brings a rare perspective and presence to her music. Since childhood, she's turned her experiences into lyrics and melodies that connect across borders. Her debut album, Billo, reclaims a word Punjabi music has long used to describe women through a male lens, and turns it into a fearless body of work that centers the female narratives. Simar is more than an artist - she’s a catalyst for change in global Punjabi music.
