Like India, Bhangra music has become popular among many in Britain<ref>{{cite news|last=Dixon |first=Martha|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/3117432.stm |title=Bhangra fusion gathers support |publisher=BBC|date=18 September 2003|access-date=3 June 2020}}</ref> not only from the works of [[List of British Asian people#Music|British South Asian musicians]] such as [[Panjabi MC]], [[Swami (band)|Swami]] and [[Rishi Rich]] but also incorporated into the works of a number of non-South Asian musicians not only British but including North American artists such as Canadian [[Shania Twain]], who created a whole alternate version of her multi-platinum album ''[[Up! (album)|Up!]]'' with full Indian instrumentation, produced by South Asian producers [[Simon & Diamond]]. Diamond, better known as [[DJ Swami]] has also collaborated with rapper [[Pras]], of the [[Fugees]], and his band [[Swami (band)|Swami]] have become one of the most renowned acts in South Asian music history, having had songs in major Hollywood movies and best-selling video games.
One of the first artists of South Asian Indian origin to achieve mainstream success was [[Apache Indian]] who infused reggae and hip hop with Indian popular music to create a sound that transcended genre and found a multicultural audience. He is the only Indian artist to have achieved 7 top forty hits in the National UK charts. A subsequent wave of "[[Asian Underground]]" artists went on to blend elements of western underground dance music and the traditional music of their home countries, such as [[Nitin Sawhney]], [[Talvin Singh]], [[Asian Dub Foundation]], [[Panjabi MC]], [[Raghav]], and the [[Rishi Rich Project]] (featuring Rishi Rich, [[Jay Sean]] and [[Juggy D]]).
The influence of South Asian music has not only been from South Asians living in the UK, but also from some UK artists that were starting using South Asian instruments creating a new sound that was a mixture of sitars and tablas with more rock-based western instruments like drums and guitar.<ref>{{Cite book | url = https://books.google.com/books?id=ymnXgAa1jsAC&q=asian+influence+in+uk+music&pg=PA147 | title = Brimful of Asia: Negotiating Ethnicity on the UK Music Scene | isbn = 978-0-7546-0677-2 | last1 = Hyder | first1 = Rehan | year = 2004}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|last=Sharma|first=Sanjay |chapter=Noisy Asians or 'Asian Noise'?|title=In Dis-Orienting Rhythms: The Politics of the New Asian Dance Music|editor-last1=Sharma|editor-first1=Sanjay |editor-last2=Hutnyk|editor-first2=John |editor-last3=Sharma|editor-first3=Ashwani |pages=32–57 |place=London |publisher=Zed Books |year=1996}}</ref>
