SimplyBhangra.com's Jusi Sahota discets the 2014 Brit Asia Award 2014 Nominations - Telling us his favourite nominees and who he thinks should have been nominated!

After an eventful year in the bhangra industry, the Brit Asia Music Awards returns for another awards ceremony, which is set to take place on Saturday 4th October 2014 in Birmingham, UK. Last week, Brit Asia TV hosted an awards nomination party, in which the nominees for the forthcoming awards ceremony were announced.

I list some my favourite nominees, and some artists who I believe should be nominated, and my reasons to why they deserve to win the award in their specific category.

Best Newcomer: Bambi Bains

Bambi, the leading lady of Team PBN, has been able to secure two huge singles as she marks her presence on the bhangra scene. Mentored by "The Hitmaker" PBN, she has released two separate singles in the last 12 months. Her singles, Zaalma and Nath Dig Pey, have accumulated 484,000 and 293,000 views on YouTube respectively as well as earn herself an impressive chart performance for both singles. Bambi has also accumulated over 17,000 instagram followers, and proves that she is an artist that has kept worldwide bhangra fans talking.

It is no surprise that Bambi is in contention for this award, as female bhangra singers haven't had much of an impact in recent months. Exposure to Bambi's music and social media pages has allowed her to become a successful recording artist and fashion icon for female bhangra fans
