Punjabi music has become hugely popular the world over. Instantly recognisable from its rhythmic beats, Punjabi music has been honoured in all areas of entertainment, including Western music and films and of course, Bollywood.

With Punjab’s own cinema growing considerably, this has opened up the gate to new upcoming stars and musical talents who have dedicated themselves in preserving their Punjabi heritage wherever they are.

In particular, the influence of Punjabi music on British music has been considerable, and many non-resident Indian’s have delved into the industry.

The night saw an influx of British Asian stars including Jaz Dhami and the Canadian star, Jazzy B who won the Best Non Resident Punjabi Vocalist award.
