“It’s a huge deal,” Neesha Hothi, marketing director for the 2025 Juno Host Committee and marketing strategist for entertainment and events. told Global News.
“I mean, the fact that he’s chosen Vancouver as the first stop of the tour…is a huge deal not only for the music industry as a whole but the South Asian community. It’s quite a statement to say that B.C. is the hub for South Asian diasporic music right now.”
Dosanjh’s latest album was produced in Surrey, B.C. with Intent, a local producer.
“There were so many other B.C.-based artists from production, writing, video, etc. there’s so many levels of it that are involved with not only (Dosanjh), but so many other artists across that South Asian music scene.”
