with Beant: Made to Be Heard

New voices and new sounds from the Asian Network.

Beant is back on Asian Network Represents with Made to Be Heard, celebrating South Asian artists making their mark across music.

From rap and R&B to soul, pop, reggae and electronic music, Beant explores artists taking their identities and experiences into unexpected musical worlds. From Riz Ahmed and Ranj to Priya Ragu, Joy Crookes, Lifafa and Rashmeet Kaur, he brings together artists who refuse to be defined by one sound.

Along the way, Beant uncovers some surprising South Asian connections in music, sharing the stories behind artists and musicians whose contributions you may never have realised.

Plus, in his Moment That Made Me, Beant talks about his love of discovering South Asian artists in unexpected places and celebrating the trailblazers he finds along the way.

A celebration of discovery, representation and artists making their voices heard.

Produced in Birmingham by Solis Productions for BBC Asian Network.
