LA’s #1 producer of Bollywood events since 2008
Pioneering the South Asian Entertainment Revolution
From a modest bedroom in San Diego, an extraordinary vision emerged that would transform the South Asian entertainment landscape in America forever. In the early 2000s, visionary founder Mandeep Pabla saw an untapped opportunity: bridging the musical divide between South Asia and the United States. What happened next would make history.
Enter Radio5 – America’s groundbreaking online South Asian radio station. When the digital airwaves were still an untamed frontier, we became the first platform to bring authentic Desi beats to hungry listeners across the U.S. This wasn’t just radio; this was cultural revolution at its finest.
Our ear for talent was unmatched. Before they became global sensations, we were the first to introduce artists into the U.S. from Jay Sean to Rishi Rich. Our passionate community of listeners grew into a movement, united by the sounds and rhythms of home brought straight to their PC’s.
But we were just getting started.
As the industry evolved with giants like Sirius XM entering the scene, we saw another opportunity to elevate South Asian entertainment to new heights. Drawing from our deep understanding of what audiences craved, we pivoted to producing grand scale Bollywood events that would redefine entertainment standards.
Today, Radio5 stands as a testament to innovation, cultural bridge-building, and the power of pursuing bold visions. From those first digital broadcasts to today’s showstopping events, we continue to push boundaries and create unforgettable experiences that celebrate and showcase South Asian culture in its full vibrancy.
The bedroom dream has become a cultural phenomenon. And this is still just the beginning.
