Jassi Gill also said that he then went on to bag many youth festivals doing what he loved. He recalled how during one of his visits to Australia to meet his sister, he kept asking his brother-in-law to get him a job. Gill then worked at a car wash and saved all the money that he earned. On returning, he cut an album for himself and the rest is history.

The singer later shifted his focus to videos to convey the messages in his songs even more clearly. Jassi Gill said that he learnt how to face the camera through the same. He further added that throughout the years, he has kept on learning from his co-stars to make up for his lack of experiences.
