[1] Based in South Western Sydney, Bhogal has released four studio albums as L-FRESH the Lion, highlighted by 2016's ARIA Award-nominated Become.
Bhogal's stage name is derived from a backronym for FRESH—Forever Rising Exceeding Sudden Hardships—while the L and lion refer to the Sanskrit translation for his middle name, Singh, which is given to Sikh men.
[4] L-FRESH the Lion first caught the attention of his peers and the Australian music scene in 2009 when he supported Nas during his first headline tour of Australia.
[14] L-FRESH the Lion closed out his 2018 involvement with the Creators for Change initiative by performing "Our World" at the United Nations Headquarters in New York as part of an educational event in observance of the International Day for Tolerance.
[17] "We the Kings" was released before the launch of the 2019–20 National Basketball League season and performed for the first time by L-FRESH the Lion in front of a record-breaking crowd at Qudos Bank Arena.
[20] The 14-track album is a letter to Bhogal's younger 13-year-old self, with messages of confidence, appreciation of his Sikh and Punjabi cultural background, self-empowerment and decolonisation.
Since 2018, the program has worked with artists such as A.Girl, Becca Hatch, Jessica Jade, Nardean, Mirrah, Spvrrow, Slim Set and T Breezy.
[23] L-FRESH the Lion cites the work of Tupac Shakur as influential, both on his music and in contributing to the development of his awareness of his Sikh heritage.
