Winners of the Pakistani Music and Media Awards 2015

The inaugural Pakistani Music and Media Awards took place on September 3, 2015 at Birmingham’s Badshah Palace Conference and Banqueting Hall.

Launched to recognise the growing talent among the Pakistani community within media, entertainment and sport, the evening was a glitzy affair of celebrities and prominent members of the media community.

Hosts for the night were radio presenters Saima Ajram and Ruby Raza. BBC Asian Network’s Saima also won the award for ‘Best Radio Show’.

Amidst the awards, entertainment came from all sides throughout the night. Young British Asian Urban artist Zack Knight took to the stage with an exceptional performance.

The notably humble artist took home two awards including ‘Best Male Singer 2015’ and ‘Best Urban Act’.

Other performers included the hugely popular Jay Kadn, Bonafide and Soni-J. Bonafide’s Maz and Ziggy also took the award for ‘Best Duo Act’.

Big winners of the night included Imran Khan who took ‘Best Song of the Year’ and ‘Best Video of the Year’ for his track, ‘Imaginary’, as well as ‘Best Songwriter’. In the female camp, artist Sakina was awarded ‘Best Female Singer’.

In special recognition of his services to the music industry, Muhammad Ayub MBE received the much deserved ‘Lifetime Achievement Award’.
