The South Asian Soundcheck survey captures real, insightful experiences from South Asian music professionals, helping the UK music industry better understand, support, and champion South Asian talent as it takes centre stage.
South Asian music and its people are thriving - but without data, a powerful part of the UK music industry's evolution goes unheard and the full commercial and creative potential of South Asian music remains untapped.
This ten-minute, first-of-its-kind survey transforms individual stories, patterns, and challenges into measurable data - enabling decision-makers, businesses, and communities across UK music to drive meaningful growth and unlock new market opportunities.
Key survey areas:
Who is working in the industry, and in what roles
What and how South Asian professionals are earning
Representation and visibility across the sector
How cultural identity shapes music careers
Access to funding, support and what’s needed next
The South Asian Soundcheck is now open for all UK music industry artists, producers, executives, managers, live agents, venue owners, students, and more.
Created by Lila, the non-profit organisation empowering South Asian music professionals.
