Assyrian EDM and Modernization

I know it's hard, us being a diaspora population and all, but why do we have such a limited variety of modern Assyrian music? I have yet to find any EDM and only a few pop and rap songs.

The only pop I've found so far is Flora Simon and the only rap being Daniel Dinler. I don't mean Assyrians singing/rapping in English/other languages.
 
I thought we had a fair number of EDM songs in Assyrian, although they might sound more like "folk dance" or "folktronica" rather than true blue EDM...

Linda George has a lot (i.e. Madeley). She's the most westernized sounding Assyrian artist. Farmo Markos Linda song sounds a bit EDM-ish.

That's not EDM and I still haven't really heard much pop either.
We have nothing that sounds remotely like this:

Nick Rockwell is Assyrian, I think he's probably the most famous Assyrian electronic music producer. He plays with Bad Boy Bill

Yep! Exactly what I'm talking about. EDM is diverse. I kind of wish he had some Suret/Surayt in it, but nonetheless, it's good.
 
LOL EDM is trance, house, hardstyle, progressive, deep house they're all categorized under it. 'Electronic Dance Music' unless we have an Assyrian Tiesto or Hardwell then I doubt we have any artisits.

I know about all the sub genres, but I didn't feel the need to delve into that, considering the likely hood of there actually being an Assyrian one, would be slim to none.

Was Odisho a member here? This has to be the most viewed video uploaded by an Assyrian (I think?).

I have a video with 2.7 million hits btw.  :)

I don't think he's a member here, but I just got so happy seeing an Assyrian name and yeah I think it is haha.

What's your channel?

Lol EDM music in the Assyrian language sounds so weird.
