I used to write rap, I had Indian pride
00:04
People call me Harsh Lakkari
00:07
Who is that?
00:08
Oh, it's this kid from India.
00:09
I want to keep my country, India, Punjab, and my turban above everyone else.
00:15
And I want to promote them.
00:17
I don't promote drugs or drugs in my songs.
00:21
I write everything that I have in my raps.
00:32
I write what I want to write and what people should know.
00:37
I write what I see around me, what I hear, what I understand.
00:46
And then people relate it to me.
00:50
And then they like it.
01:02
I used to listen to his songs.
01:04
I used to get a vibe from them.
01:07
And then I started writing songs based on my reality.
01:10
And then I started getting people's love.
01:16
My dad didn't like my music.
01:21
He was a little scared that my music would spoil him.
01:29
But my mom was the one who encouraged me.
01:34
She used to tell me to do what I want to do.
01:46
I did my best. If I could convince my dad that I can do something, he would support me a lot.
01:59
And that's what happened. My whole family supports me.
02:16
I found a rap verse of Splendor on Instagram.
02:27
Connor Price saw the video and wrote in the comments,
02:32
Yo, DM me bro.
02:33
Then I DMed him.
02:35
And we planned a song.
02:37
And then we made a song.
02:46
It's a funny thing.
02:55
If someone asks me my name, I tell them my name on Instagram.
03:00
And then I get a lot of good comments.
03:04
Like a photo of Harsh Likhari.
03:07
I don't consider them my fans.
03:09
I just want to say that I came here because of you.
03:16
I don't pay attention to my studies.
03:22
I used to write in my papers.
03:24
When I didn't get my papers, I used to leave my papers and write rap.
03:27
I got to know about Principal Ma'am a while ago.
03:31
That I want to sing a song.
03:34
I had 1 million subscribers.
03:36
And she called me and told me that I did a great job.
03:40
I haven't earned anything yet.
03:49
I'm just showing people that I can do more.
03:54
Money doesn't matter.
03:56
You just have to sing.
03:58
People used to demotivate me.
04:01
They used to say that I won't make it.
04:03
But now they congratulate me.
