Inheriting the musical lineage of their late father—the legendary composer Neele Khan ("Bathinda Bikaner Ho Gaya")—Aaftab and Appu Beats turned unimaginable tragedy into artistic brilliance. Following their father's untimely passing, the brothers stepped up to support their family while honoring the roots that defined them.
Aaftab took to pen and melody early, composing hits for top-tier Punjabi stars like Ammy Virk, Surjit Bhullar and Hustinder.
Appu channeled his instinct for sound into becoming a high-demand producer and music director.
Today, Appu Beats commands over 420,000 monthly Spotify listeners, fueled by infectious anthems like "Yaarian" (1.7M+ streams), "Jaan Na Deyan," and "Tu Mil Gya." A staple on premier editorial playlists, his work across projects like Young & Real and Noor's Flow highlights his ability to blend modern electronic/hip-hop elements with authentic Punjabi roots.
Currently in the studio with Saava Studios, Appu is crafting the debut EP for breakout vocalist Gagan Ali—further cementing his place as one of the most exciting, forward-thinking hitmakers in the industry today.
