No one had ever performed at the JUNOs in Punjabi before. Or any South Asian language for that matter. But with Jalebi Baby being such a huge hit in both the east and the west, we knew that this was the perfect opportunity to fight for that moment to finally happen!! and hopefully open the door to more South Asian performances in the future (it did!) 🙏🏽🇮🇳🇵🇰🇱🇰🇧🇩 Honestly we just thought the tons of brown people in Canada deserved to finally see one of their own perform on this stage in their native language - and the entirety of Canada should finally see and celebrate the big moves that artists from Canada are making around the world! 🌎 I'm not gonna lie, I was pretty nervous lol. I had never performed live on TV and in front of such a huge audience. In fact I'd barely performed at all..and I had to both sing AND dance lmao 😅 The JUNOs gave us exactly 90 seconds, and we rocked every single one. Can't wait to do some even crazier stuff next time! 🙏🏽👊🏽 #junoawards #canada #tesher #simuliu #punjabi #bhangra #desi #indian #ready #jalebibaby #grwm #fyp less
