Moose Wala was also known by the name ‘5911’, after his HMT 5911 tractor. In 2019, Moose Wala founded a record label by his name and released many songs under it.

He was famous for his rap songs with hard-hitting, sarcastic content which asked questions of society, politicians, religious leaders, rival singers and spoke of the country’s problems. Singla was recently sacked by Punjab chief minister Bhagwant Mann over charges of corruption after a sting operation against him. Incidentally, the singer was killed barely a fortnight before his birthday on June 11. Earlier in March, UK citizen and international kabbadi player Sandeep Singh from Nangal Ambian village was shot dead during a kabaddi match at a village in Jalandhar. Since the AAP government came to power, it has withdrawn the security cover of over 306 ex-ministers, MLAs and other private figures.
