Bohemia is a Punjabi rapper and songwriter who has produced and sung many songs. He is a popular name in South Asia and enjoys a cult fan following all over the sub-continent because of his relatable raps and different songs. While many people follow him, only a few know him very well.
Bohemia is said to be the pioneer of rap music in Asia. He is the one who brought rap culture to Hindi and Punjabi speaking audience and gained immense respect and popularity for his work over the years. Bohemia, until few years back, used to avoid media and he was only known by genuine lovers of hip hope but now his fame has increased, thanks to social media. The Punjabi rapper has collaborated with some of the big stars in the Indian film industry like Akshay Kumar and Sanjay Dutt. He lives in California and makes his music from there. Let’s talk about some of the interesting yet unknown facts about the rapper.
Name – Bohemia’s original name is Roger David. Yes, you read that right. For years, people know him by the name of Bohemia which he decided to give it to himself as part of the hip hop culture. It was until recently that fans got to know that his original name is Roger David. He is married to the love of his life and her name is Sunny David. She lives with Bohemia in California and the couple has a dreamy life.
Not Indian – One of the most interesting and shocking thing about Bohemia is the fact that he is not an Indian. Many people think that Bohemia is from Punjab but Bohemia is from Pakistan. Shocking for many, right? His die-hard fans know that he is from Punjab because of the verses he writes. He was written about his life in Peshawar, Pakistan and how he felt when he moved to a new country where people were racist with him.
Collaboration – Bohemia gained huge success after his album Paisa NashaPyar got hit and one of his songs ‘Ek Tera Pyar’ became hugely popular in India and Pakistan. After that, Akshay Kumar noticed his caliber and decided to give him a chance in his movie ‘Chandni Chowk To China’.
