In an interview he "listened to the old and classical Punjabi lyricists and poets like Shiv Kumar Batalvi, Bulle Shah, Muhammad Sadiq, Gurdas Mann, Kuldeep Manak and many more.

As Dhaliwal was born to a middle-class Jat Sikh family, his parents used to criticise his passion as an unrespected profession in society but still supported him.
