About this listen

Episode 48 continues the powerful conversation with Harvey Sahota, diving deeper into the realities of the Bhangra and Punjabi music industry — from early success and industry setbacks to reinvention, live musicianship, and finding relevance in a fast-changing digital world.

Harvey opens up about:

  • Why timing can matter as much as talent

  • The harsh economics of live gigs, bands, and promoters

  • The difference between studio singers and true live performers

  • Building (and losing) bands — and why excellence has a cost

  • Winning Best Band, going viral, and being signed by Kiss Records

  • How COVID, social media, and consistency reshaped the industry

  • Why Punjabi pop is quietly coming full circle

  • What musical excellence really means in today’s world

This is a raw, honest, musician-to-musician conversation about resilience, craft, legacy, and why the journey doesn’t end just because the industry changes.

🎧 Essential listening for artists, producers, and anyone serious about music beyond hype.
