In later years, he composed and produced music for numerous tracks of singers like Jassie Gill, Hardy Sandhu, Amrinder Gill, Gippy Grewal, Diljit Dosanjh, Ammy Virk, etc. with lyrics by Jaani. He composed tracks such as “Taara“, “Joker“, “Na Ji Na“, “Ik Saal“, “Do You Know“, “Supna“, “Backbone“, “Horn Blow” and many more.
