Aditya Prateek Singh adopted the name Badshah and spent years building a reputation as a rapper and producer before "Saturday Saturday" landed in the 2014 film Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania and changed the game. The single's success opened Bollywood's doors: he followed with "Abhi Toh Party Shuru Hui Hai" for Khoobsurat, "Kar Gayi Chull" for Kapoor and Sons, and a string of soundtrack placements that became inescapable. He crossed borders too, linking with J Balvin and Tainy on "Voodoo" and its Lil Baby remix. Beyond recording, he's sat as a judge on MTV Hustle, Indian Idol, Dil Hai Hindustani, India's Got Talent, and India's Got Latent, cementing his role as both hitmaker and gatekeeper. He also moved into business and film production, expanding the empire built on beats.
