The event marks the 5th annual Brit Asia TV Music Awards<\/h3>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The most exciting names in the Asian music industry joined forces for the hotly anticipated announcement of the nominees for this year\u2019s Brit Asia TV Music Awards. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

With over 300 VIP artists and guests under one roof at the Edgbaston Cricket Ground- this year\u2019s nominations party did not disappoint!\u00a0Once again, it gave us a little taster of what is to come with the Awards Ceremony and how there is no other event of its kind. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Established as the biggest and most credible event in the British Asian music calendar, the star studded nominations party saw names from the Brit Asia TV Music Awards past and present arrive to hear this year\u2019s shortlist before opening to the public vote.\u00a0It will now be down to the fans again to decide who walks away with the iconic Brit Asia TV Music Award in October, with the shortlist categories now open to the public by texting code 83149 plus the artist number.\u00a0<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Never in its 5 year history has such fierce competition been witnessed among Brit Asia TV music talent.\u00a0A glimpse into this year\u2019s nominees includes top artists Bambi, Raxstar, Satinder Sartaaj and Diljit Dosanjh. These have all been shortlisted by fans via the open voting system- A showcase of exciting and varied talent.\u00a0<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

In the Best Newcomer category is brothers-duo Bloodline, who are also nominated under the Best \u2018Asian Music\u2019 Producer category. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Believing that success is reliant on determination as opposed to destiny, their personal motto seems to be: \u201ctough times don\u2019t last, but tough people do\u201d. This theme, grounded in the belief in the survival of the fittest, has also permeated into their music and their album \u201cEvolution\u201d is nominated for \u201cBest Album\u201d. Well, we\u2019ll just have to see how well their hard work and determination has paid off and if they\u2019ll survive the first stage of the nomination process.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Making work quite tough for Bloodline are rival nominees Birmingham\u2019s bhangra boy band B21 who, with their comeback album 12B, are shortlisted for both the Best \u2018Asian Music\u2019 Producer and Best Album categories. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

B21 seem to have done really well with their comeback album and, returning with the quintessentially infectious B21 sound, the artist\u2019s debut single \u201cDil Tharkeh\u201d from the album sees them also shortlisted in the Best Music Video category.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

In the Best International Act category, fresh from her endeavours in the acting world, is the ever-beautiful and ever-prolific bhangra queen, Miss Pooja, who has lost out on the Best Female Act category to nominees Kanika Kapoor, Tasha Tah, Sona Walia, Sazia Judge and Bambi.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Competing in both Best Urban Asian Act and Best Urban Single categories are Tazzz, Roach Killa, Raxtar and Apache Indian, with Tazzz also being shortlisted for Best \u2018Non-Asian Music\u2019 Producer.<\/div>\n

\n<\/p><\/div>\n
