He is multi lingual lyricist and mainly spits his lyrics in Punjabi & Hindi. A strict Hip-Hop fan and being a strict Hip-Hop artist, he is against the idea of recording pop raps for club songs. His songs always focused on some dark, thoughtful, deep, political or realistic side of life. His style of voice is a blend of aggression and anxiety while his lyricism is based on a poetic approach that he gained from his favorite poets. He quotes, \u201cLyrics are a reflection of your thoughts, experiences or some other stories from your side which creates an image of yours either positive or negative on your listener\u2019s mind\u201d.<\/p>\n

His journey in the Indian Underground scene started when Kanish “The K-Ji<\/strong>” Sharma met him with his fellow rappers Ankit “AP” Pasricha<\/strong> & Raja Axe D<\/strong><\/a> back in the December of 2012 and suggested to form a crew, “Drunken Majesty. The crew was tight for an year and performed in a few gigs but never released a track with all of the members on a single beat. Members from the crew were active and released some of their works for public. San Cha wrote his own verse and featured on \u201cTeri Yaad\u201d which was written by AP and AP did the same for San Cha\u2019s \u201cJeen Da Nasha (Koi Kehnda) which was produced by Ankit Malhotra. In the end of 2013, The K-Ji & San Cha left the crew and chose to go solo as their thinking was not same with the other members.<\/p>\n

Then, He got critical acclamation after his dark themed track “Hanju” which was based on his very close friend’s sudden demise and other low toned stuff that were happening in his life at that particular point of time. “Chalo Ek Baar” was a song that he claims was one of his best works and was a remix that gave him a style of aggression in his voice. The track was highly appreciated because of the deep lyricism and a contrast that Siddharth Dhawan’s voice gave to the song. San Cha’s aggressive style was heard in a few more tracks like \u201cMain Shehanshah\u201d, \u201cGunhegaar\u201d etc. “Ek Tu Hove” by Siddharth Dhawan was already composed and the beat was given to the song by San Cha with a soothing verse induced in it. \u201cRang De\u201d by San Cha was a tribute to our revolutionary martyrs and was a hardcore political track. Collaborations with The K-Ji like \u201cDesi Swag\u201d and \u201cMera Garh\u201d and \u201cPistolaan\u201d with The R-Hit gave his flow a new blend. He has also produced “Dil Ke Chain” and “Jaan-e-Jaan” for Raja Axe D, “Dil Majboor”, “Teri Yaad” and “Imtihaan” for AP. Beats that he produce are traded with a tag of \u201cKnown Strangerz Beatz\u201d.<\/p>\n
