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.
