The accident took place in the Baddi area when he lost control of the motorcycle. The singer sustained head and spine injuries in the accident. He had also suffered a cardiac arrest before being shifted to Fortis Hospital.

Hailing from village Pona in Ludhiana's Jagraon, Jawanda started his singing career with the 2014 single Munda Like Me and rose to fame with the song Kali Jawande Di in 2016. The singer was praised for bridging folk heritage with new-age Punjabi pop, which appealed to younger listeners. He is also known for his songs Tu Dis Penda, Khush Reha Kar, Sardari, Surname, Afreen, Landlord, Down to Earth, and Kangani. Jawanda also acted in the Gippy Grewal starrer Subedar Joginder Singh in 2018, as well as films such as Jind Jaan and Mindo Taseeldarni.
