Rapper Hard Kaur, who has lent her voice to several hit songs, says she wants to become a big music director.

“As people weren’t listening to me, I myself became a music director. And now my songs have come in four films, and more are coming as well. I am working on it. I wish to become a very big music director,” she said.

Kaur, who is popular for her songs such as Char Baj Gaye and Move Your Body, is working on a new single titled Sherni, the teaser of which is out. She is producing the song under her own label Future Records.

“I wanted to do something different and I obviously am financing it. This is not a party song, so there is a problem for investment as people think that such songs don’t sell. This song is very personal and was important as it is a full-on girl power song,” said Kaur.

She had created the song four years ago and decided to bring it out only after her friends urged her to.

“I didn’t know whether people are ready or not. I thought, ‘I want to bring it out, I want to do real hip-hop. Why did I start music?’ I had started music to do real hip-hop. Now I have established my name and in the history, my name will go as the first Indian female rapper all over the world.

“I made my mother’s and India’s name proud. But am I happy or not? No, because I am not making the music I want to make... I have been waiting since nine years to do such a song. First thing was to educate the country about hip-hop, rap. Today, everybody knows what is rap, all sing it. So now it is [time] to take it to the next level.”

Sherni will be out on YouTube on July 26.
