Early Life
Sunanda Sharma was born on January 30, 1992, in Fatehgarh Churian, a municipal council in Gurdaspur district, Punjab, to Vinod Kumar Sharma and Suman Sharma.
She grew up alongside an elder brother and elder sister, Raj, in a modest and supportive family environment. Sharma developed an early interest in music as a child, drawing inspiration from legendary Punjabi singers like Gurdas Maan and Surjit Bindrakhia, whom she would often imitate during her school years.
Despite her cheerful, attention-grabbing presence during school programs, she did not initially set out to pursue a singing career.
Education
Sharma completed her schooling in Gurdaspur before pursuing her Bachelor’s degree at Khalsa College in Amritsar.
She went on to complete a Master’s degree in English Literature at Guru Nanak Dev University, also in Amritsar, balancing her academic studies with her rapidly growing musical career.
Career
Sunanda Sharma’s career began somewhat by accident. During her college years, she started singing cover versions of popular Punjabi songs and uploading them to YouTube and Facebook, largely for fun. One of her early covers, a rendition of “Sucha Soorma” originally by Kulwinder Billa, went viral, drawing significant attention across Punjab and catching the interest of music producers.
In 2016, Sharma released her first official single, “Billi Akh,” produced by Pinky Dhaliwal, founder of Amar Audio, whom she has credited as a mentor figure in launching her music career. The song became an instant hit and introduced her as a fresh voice in the Punjabi music industry. Her breakthrough came in 2017 with “Patake,” composed by Desi Crew, which became a massive hit and crossed hundreds of millions of views on YouTube, making her a household name almost overnight. That same year, her song “Jaani Tera Naa” surpassed 334 million views on YouTube.
Sharma expanded into acting with her debut in “Sajjan Singh Rangroot” (2018), a Punjabi war drama co-starring Diljit Dosanjh and Yograj Singh. She made her Bollywood singing debut the same year with “Tere Naal Nachna” from the film “Nawabzaade,” alongside Badshah, followed by other Bollywood tracks including “Poster Lagwa Do” from “Luka Chuppi” (2019) and “Mummy Nu Pasand” from “Jai Mummy Di” (2020). She also lent her voice to the emotionally acclaimed music video “Baarish Ki Jaaye,” featuring Nawazuddin Siddiqui. In 2024, she made her debut appearance at the Cannes Film Festival, drawing attention for her ethnic red suit look, and she continued releasing successful tracks including a 2025 collaboration with Karan Aujla titled “Boyfriend.”
In 2025, Sharma became the subject of media attention following a legal dispute involving Mad4Music founder Pinky Dhaliwal, which was reported by several Indian media outlets.
