Singer Saloni is one of several new artists performing on the BBC Introducing stage this weekend. She’s singing originals and covers in multiple languages.
Saloni combines that with Western Pop and R&B beats.
Speaking to Newsbeat backstage before her set, Saloni says she
hopes that greater British Asian representation at the festival this year will “make it easier
for the next generation of Asian artists”.
“It’s amazing to be part of that. And hopefully in the
future there’ll be more of this,” she says.
As for where she wants to go next?
“As far as possible. I want to be performing to a huge, huge
crowd,” Saloni says enthusiastically.
