Something real happened on Oct 4th, that brought about some real music and performances and the feel of a culture that is taking over in due course of time. Desi Hip Hop, in short.
I am talking about the Brit Asia TV Music Awards at the NIA Birmingham, and it was something original, something amazing, and summed up the novelty of the Asian music genres as a whole. Although the award ceremony celebrated new talent and honored rising stars, this year’s ceremony very much belonged to established names who have been powering Asian music for the past two decades.

The Legends Band opened the event with a performance with Saini Surinder and Jay Status for a night of outstanding music and entertainment. Hosted by Radio WM Presenters Sunny & Shay and Brit Asia TV host Sukhi Bart, who encouraged going “off the leash” and whipping up some spontaneous fun, which involved some light hearted fun with TOWIE’s Jasmin Walia who made a entrance with a glittering backless silver dress. In one word, she was ‘Hot’, to say the least.
