Canadian University introduces a course on Diljit Dosanjh, will talk about singer's impact on ‘global pop culture’

Actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh has now achieved yet another milestone. Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) has mandated that the actor-singer be a component of the required curriculum.

The announcement was made at the Billboard Summit at NXNE in Toronto, and the course will be given through The Creative School at TMU.

This class, according to Billboard, will start in the autumn 2026 and focus on the "cultural, musical and diasporic relevance" of the singer's songs and albums.

"Toronto Metropolitan University is excited to pioneer a course on Diljit Dosanjh, whose journey embodies the intersection of culture, identity and global music entrepreneurship. His rise illustrates the cultural influence and economic potential of Punjabi music on the world stage. By examining his impact, students will explore how regional sounds shape global pop culture, mobilize diasporic communities and contribute to sustainable creative economies rooted in authenticity," said Dr. Charlie Wall-Andrews, Assistant Professor at The Creative School at Toronto Metropolitan University.
