Introduction: Who is Param?
You might have already caught wind of a fresh, fierce voice in the Punjabi music scene — that’s Param, the 19-year-old rap queen from Punjab who’s setting the internet ablaze with her debut single, ‘That Girl’. She isn’t just another aspiring singer; Param is making history as arguably the first authentic female rapper in the Punjabi hip-hop world, carving out a niche all her own in a male-dominated industry. Her distinct voice and unapologetic lyrics resonate with youth, especially those seeking empowerment and a break from tradition.
The Viral Track ‘That Girl’
‘That Girl’ is not just a song. It’s a statement. Released in late September 2025, this single skyrocketed to over 3.5 million views on YouTube within days and continues to spread like wildfire on platforms like Instagram Reels and Spotify.
What makes this track stand out? Param’s raw, unfiltered voice combined with her powerful lyrics — lines that challenge stereotypes and assert a bold, independent persona of a new-age Punjabi woman. The chorus goes:
“Ve main addi na patashe jaavan phor di…
Ankh takdi na kise nu eh ghoordi…
Meri chuppi japdi doonge shor jahi.”
(Translation: I don’t just stand around breaking sugar candies, my eyes don’t just glance, they pierce, my silence is like a roar.)
The song flips the script on Punjab’s traditional patriarchal narratives, giving voice to feminine strength and defiance in a style influenced by the late Sidhu Moosewala, earning Param the nickname “Lady Moosewala” among fans.
Param’s Background and Journey
Paramjeet Kaur, born and raised in Duneke village in Punjab’s Moga district, comes from humble beginnings. Her father is a daily-wage laborer and her mother works as a house help, yet she has big dreams fueled by talent and grit.
Her music journey wasn’t immediate stardom. According to Param, her interest sparked when she noticed friends writing and singing songs during college. She started practicing, recording freestyle rap clips, and quickly gained attention in local music circles.
Param is still a student, pursuing undergraduate studies at DM College in Moga, balancing education and her burgeoning music career with impressive maturity.
Unique Style and Industry Impact
What truly sets Param apart is her authenticity. Unlike many female Punjabi singers focusing on folk or pop, Param’s rap is street-savvy, unapologetically raw, and rooted deeply in Punjabi hip-hop culture.
Satvinder Singh Kohli, managing director of Speed Records, praises Param as the first real female rapper in the Punjabi hip-hop scene:
“She’s in her own ‘Gully Girl’ space, much like the gully boys, carving her own path.”
It’s a significant breakthrough in an industry usually dominated by male artists and often objectifying women. Param writes her own lyrics, composes music, and delivers performances packed with conviction and attitude.
Music Production and Collaborations
The track ‘That Girl’ was produced by UK-based music producer Manni Sandhu, who purposefully recorded the vocals in a non-traditional setting — a random Airbnb without expensive studio treatments. Despite hearing outside noises like cars and shouts, Sandhu remarks on how crisp and perfect Param’s vocals were, capturing raw energy seldom seen even after many years in the music industry.
The music video, shot by the team Tru Makers in Mohali, further amplified Param’s rising popularity by visualizing her distinct style and storytelling.
Challenges and Future Prospects
Param’s rise hasn’t come without challenges. Coming from a modest family background, she didn’t have easy access to the usual industry backing or resources. Yet, her music speaks for itself, driven by passion and determination. Param has expressed her goal to support her family financially and carve a lasting place for herself in Punjabi music.
Experts foresee a bright future for her, with Speed Records considering signing her. Her initial success is seen as just the start of an exciting journey ahead in redefining Punjabi rap, especially for women.
