Naughty Boy's guide to his Asian Network Live headline performance

"I've never done anything like this," Naughty Boy told Tommy Sandhu when the Asian Network Live line-up was announced in March (below). "I'm gonna have to up my game with this one, actually!

Why Naughty Boy loves Asian Network Live

Naughty Boy is here to explain why the first ever Asian Network Live is so special

"I've never performed my songs this way, when I've added some other instruments I've grown up with in Bollywood films," he said. "I think people are going to like it, it's different."

Naughty Boy also mentioned two of the singers he was going to perform with. And, wow, one was Kanika Kapoor, one of Bollywood’s best loved play-back singers:

He also told us to expect a surprise with the Asian Network's own Preeya Kalidas. Here they are in early April when Naughty Boy was on Preeya's show:

Finally, he told us he was going to perform the songs that everyone knows well. One of them was his No.1 smash, La La La, which saw him being joined on stage by Kanika Kapoor:
