Imran Khan earns the title of Bhangra Boy of the Year

Imran Khan’s career has been something of a slow burn, but it seems 2009 has been the year this singer has reached boiling point. Khan first broke onto the music scene with his single, Ni Nachle, back in 2007. The track along with its popular video became his first big hit and one of the songs of the summer.

Despite this first flush of success, Khan then fell off the radar for a couple of years. Rumours that he was about to release a debut album began circulating in early 2009 and by June, a track list was released followed by the album Amplifier. The record scooped the top spot in the charts and went on to become one of the hottest releases of the year.

The hard working star hasn’t stopped since having embarked on a world tour since releasing Amplifier. He’s played to packed crowds all around the globe proving his talent by giving some stunning acoustic performances. Bewafa is the second single release from the album and is proving a big hit with the music fans having received rave reviews.

What does 2010 have in store for the bhangra man of the moment? Imran Khan is due to continue his tour and is also said to be working on a follow-up album. Aside from music, Khan is rumoured to have plans to launch a clothing line. So the next 12 months are looking particularly busy for this bhangra boy.
