Jeff RogersSidhu Moose Wala’s rapid passing shocked many people all over the world.
For those who knew him, it hit yet harder.
Steel Banglez, a close colleague, claims it took him “months” to get back to music.
His latest record, Attach, is a gift to Moose Walla, who Steel Banglez funds with inspiring him to render his “best audio ever”.
The movie for the music, which includes the writer’s last-ever looks, has been viewed millions of times.
According to Steel Banglez, who has collaborated with artists like Burna Boy, J Pol, Rudimental, and Dave, he wants to keep Sidhu Moose Wala’s audio “legacy going.”
” Knowing our marriage, knowing what he was like, knowing what we spoke on.
” I know he would want me to accomplish my point,” the 37-year-old tells BBC Asian Network.
” So with that popularity… it’s really put me in a place to go and obtain more.”
When Moose Wala was killed in 2022, he gained worldwide recognition and a lasting musical tradition, making his name a household name in his home country while still being viewed by some as a controversial and questionable number.
Metal Banglez describes the pair as “like best friends” and claims that he feels compelled to do something in his title.
” Whether it’s creating productions in India in his hometown]of Punjab], or actually directing a movie.
” I have to keep that legacy going, and ca n’t let that die”, he says.

The music, which was a result of an experiment using various sound like drilling and Afrobeats, was made in April 2021, according to Steel Banglez.
” I thought Sidhu would be awesome to climb on it,” I said.
The music was intended to appear on his song, The Playlist, which he released last year.
He claims,” But I held the music again because Sidhu has evidently passed ahead.”
” One of them was something that I held dearly in my brain. But I kept the history and intended to make it available when it was appropriate, perhaps later than when I spoke to the family.”
The music videos, which he also directed, came on very swiftly, he says, and the end picture capabilities a voicenote from Moose Wala.
” My final truly significant interaction with him. Editing it was a little personal.
” It’s definitely heavy to be honest. I do n’t even know what to think.”
Jeff RogersHe claims that the track’s release has not yet made any sense.
” It’s been on my computer for thus much. Sometimes it’ll hit me in a couple of weeks.”
He adds that despite some being optimistic about the song, he has tried to ignore responses.
” ]Because ] I know I’ve done my job and I know the track’s a banger.
No one has seen Sidhu since he passed away, and that picture, which I simply have with him, was fun to watch.
The use of AI has been a prominent issue in the industry recently, with debate around copyright, artist rights and voice cloning.
Tools have been used which can mimic artists, including with music involving Sidhu Moose Wala since his death.
Steel Banglez says he is a lover “if it’s used appropriately” and that it can be useful when he uses it for tests and production.
” But ripping people off and using women’s singers and trying to make enthusiasm for yourself… that’s no true ingenuity to me.
” And at the end of the day. AI is gaining traction in our daily life.
” And you gotta get it,” you say. And if you do n’t get with it. You’re going to get left behind”, he says.
Steel Banglez has been a part of that development and wants to continue working with younger designers.
He claims to be “in a phase” in the 1990s and that he wants to promote other artists and the sound of South Asian artists” that fans do n’t hear from the UK.”
Because I believe we are very melodically similar in our elegance, I want to acquire expertise and put them on songs with Afrobeat artists.
” I solidified myself as one of the officials.
” I believe I’m much past the need to grow my company and let people know.
I feel like a complete new technology has been shown what it is possible and viewed my journey thus far, he says.
