Jasmine Takhar – Presenter BBC Asian Network/ The Official British Asian Music Chart

Jasmine Takhar is the host of BBC Introducing and the Official British Asian Music Chart on the BBC Asian Network. In 2021, her passion for and strong connection to new UK artists was recognised when she was announced as the new host of the ‘BBC Introducing’ show on BBC Asian Network. She then received a nomination for Best Radio Show from the Music Week Awards in 2022, followed by successive nominations in 2023 and 2024. Fast forward to 2024, where Jasmine was announced as the host of the brand new Official Asian British Music Chart on BBC Asian Network which launched in April, compiled by the Official Charts Company. Jasmine’s passion for breaking through new artists has also led to her hosting various music events around the country including BBC Introducing at Glastonbury, R1’s Big Weekend, The Great Escape, Latitude and at South by Southwest Festival. Outside of radio, Jasmine also heads up the project ‘Scene Not Heard’, a platform dedicated to providing a voice for unsigned rap, grime and R&B artists from outside of London.
