More on the 10th Annual UK AMAs
The Lebara Mobile Asian Music Awards celebrate their 10th Anniversary on 25th October at Wembley Arena. International music star Rahat Fateh Ali Khan will headline the show with a full live band.

This year's list of nominees proves to be the toughest yet, with no less than 13 Asian music stars all receiving two nominations each. Pop sensation Jay Sean is recognised in the Best Male and Best Video categories. The latter also features 'Bad Girls' by controversial British star M.I.A, who earns a second nomination in the Best Female category this year, where she will battle it out with Preeya Kalidas, who is also up for the same two awards.

Bhangra music is strongly represented across most of the categories with acts such as Garry Sandhu, Sukshinder Shinda, DJ Sanj, Panjabi By Nature and JK all earning two nominations each. British Bollywood producers RDB also receive two nominations as do British Asian duo Panjabi Hit Squad. 'Jugni Ji' singer Kanika Kapoor makes her AMA debut with two nominations, including the hotly contested Best Newcomer award, which also includes Junai Kaden, Shide Boss, Banger and Romy Shay.

 

Punjabi music legend Gurdas Mann also makes the cut with two nominations for Best International Act and Best International Album, where he will be up against India's rising rap-star Yo Yo Honey Singh in both categories. There has been no shortage of Urban talent emerging from the UK, and Arjun, Raxstar, Roach Killa and Metz N Trix have made it through in the Best Urban category where they are joined by last year's winner Mumzy Stranger.
