BollySpice were invited to an exclusive VIP event for the The Lebara Mobile Asian Music Awards Nominations launch party. The event took place last week on Wednesday 12th September, in London, to announce which artists have made it onto the nominations list.
BollySpice is proud to support the Asian Music Awards and rising local Asian talent. This year international artists Jay Sean and MIA led the nominations making it into two categories; Best Male and Best Female and the two are both nominated for Best Video prize.
Nokia’s Unsigned artists Kishen, RaOool and Amanjot Sangha performed at the event with the winner of the Nokia Unsigned prize being announced as 17 year old Amanjot Sangha. Sharing her excitement Amanjot told us, “I honestly can’t believe I have won this amazing prize. Any girl who dreams of being a singer would dream of performing at Wembley Arena, a place where I’ve seen my idols perform year after year.”
Preeya Kalidas (Best Female), Gurdas Mann (Best International Act and album) and Naughty Boy (Best Producer) also made it onto the nominations list.
The Lebara Mobile Asian Music Awards are set to take place in Wembley Arena on October 25th 2012. The awards ceremony that celebrates its 10th year is set to have performances by a number of artists including Bollywood singer Rahat Fateh Ali Khan.
