HMV has created a discography of Chamkila that features posthumous albums such as ‘The Diamond’ and multiple studio recordings. He distinguished himself from his peers by his use of passionate words and high-pitched voices in his music. Chamkila’s status in Punjabi music history was further solidified by his partnerships with musicians such as Swarn Sivia and his concerts centered around Sikh heritage.
The impact of Chamkila goes beyond the Punjabi music scene. He is credited as a musical inspiration by British Indian musician Panjabi MC and Indian film composer Amit Trivedi. In recognition of Chamkila’s influence on Punjabi music, Trivedi has gone so far as to call him the Elvis of Punjab.
