list of Muslim singers, songwriters, musicians and record producers found in Western music, highlighting only the most successful musicians of Muslim origin—and who are at the very least cultural Muslims[n. 1] even if they are not at all religious. In the West there are significant populations[n. 2] of Muslims living, working and contributing to society, but who unfortunately also suffer from social problems, such as the recent emergence of racialised[n. 3] Islamophobia / discrimination—unsurprising given the fact that the West has always had a turbulent history[n. 4] when it comes to racial and ethnic conflict, with the worst[n. 5] of it being represented by the events of the Holocaust (1941—1945).[1] Many Muslims in Europe are either recent 20th century immigrants[2] (or the descendent of such immigrants who have successfully integrated into the West), or Westerners themselves who have converted[n. 6] to Islam. With the absorption of such a diverse range of cultures, and the increased contact between the East and West,[3] this cultural phenomenon has given birth to a rich culture of music (including from those who are half-Muslim[n. 7]); with some individuals proving pivotal to the development of Western music. This list includes the likes of Ahmet Ertegrun (the founder and former head of Atlantic Records, who oversaw the discovery, management and musical production of bands such as Led Zeppelin and AC/DC) to more recent superstars such as Dua Lipa. This article documents these particular artists so that they are remembered throughout history (so that at least this begins to destroy the myth that Muslims "do not integrate", keep to themselves or stay on the margins of society[n. 8][4][5]). Since there are so many musicians, this article specifically excludes rappers and converts—since they deserve a category of their own.
