You description reminds me of a short tv series about a teen who ends up in a parallel fascist universe and begins to inspire rebellion among the downtrodden by becoming a rock star using the music he remembers from his Earth. The name of which escapes my google-fu currently.

Starchildren: Velvet Generation is focused upon rock bands (and alien fans thereof) in an era where rock has been banned.
Have you considered using a toolbox system and doing your own thing?

There is the Five Fires RPG which is focused on hip hop music and its surrounding culture, which may be of use to you.
Hi there! Yes, we did think about making our own thing. That's why I am asking for further inspiration sources. And swe wish to avoid creating a product that already exists

Admirable... but, if you find inspiration but mechanics you don't find usable, it may be worthwhile to do something better.
And, just as a bit of slightly off topic- the Band GWAR had a minis game, GWAR: Rumble in Antarctica. Worth reading just for the fill text that gives the (hopefully false) origins of the Band, and an excuse for them to be slaughtering others...
it was almost to the level of an RPG. Well, about as close as the original WH40K... maybe a hair closer. Opposed roll attacks, using roll x dice, keep y dice, using the XkY notation as used in L5R and 7th sea. According to my former roommate, BC, it's as much fun as an RPG as it is as a minis game. (BC is now, after a mid-life crisis in his early 30's, an ex-owner of a cab company and a merchant seaman. As far as I know, he's still a fan of GWAR - the band, the comic, and the game.)
Was this the short-lived 80's TV series "Other Worlds"? Where an all-American family travels to a parallel or alien world via pyramid and engage on a journey to find the way home?

Maybe Heavy Metal Thunder Mouse. If punk is also ok, there's a Anarchy! (plus a few more that stray a bit further from the music side, like Misspent Youth).
