    Badshah started his career in the music industry with the name "Cool Equal", but then changed his name to Badshah on the Indian singer Yo Yo Honey Singh's advice. He is further known for his catchphrase "it's your boy Badshah", often stylized as "Ish yo boy Baad-uh-sh-aa-ah".

    In November 2006, he produced his first song "Soda Whiskey".

    Then in January 2011, he produced a song "Paanch Begam" with Yo Yo Honey Singh, Raftaar, Alfaaz and J Star.

    He broke into the mainstream after his 2012 single, "Saturday Saturday", was featured in the soundtrack of the 2014 movie, Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania.

    Badshah released his debut album, O.N.E. (Original Never Ends), on August 17, 2018.
