The UK Asian Music Awards 2009 Winners

 

Royal Festival Hall held the star-studded UK Asian Music Awards last night which is the only awards ceremony which celebrates the immense talent of British Asian music artists in the UK.

The all-star line up at the event made it one of the most exciting shows in the event’s seven year history. The theme for the night echoed the increasing trend of up and coming British Artists collaborating with top names from the USA and the UK. Jagged Edge put on a special performance with Brit-Asian producer Shayal, Amar performed her new song, ‘Show it Off’ with Jim Beanz and Rebel from the Timbaland production line and there was an all UK collaboration with D Boy, Sef, Truth, and Romeo of So Solid.
