Born Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu in village Moosa, Mansa, Punjab, Moosewala did his engineering from Ludhiana, where he also learnt music, before moving to Canada. His big success came with gangster rap So High in 2017. While his songs of guns and violence won him fame, he also hit the headlines for being on the wrong side of law. Debuting with single G Wagon, So High got him worldwide recognition. His hits included Issa Jatt, Tochan, Selfmade, Famous, Warning Shots, Legend, 47, Game and Bambiha Bole.
