Today we’re remembering and celebrating the life of Jamal Edwards MBE (24 August 1990 – 20 February 2022) - a British entrepreneur, author, director, DJ and most importantly, founder of one of the biggest online urban music platforms to date - SBTV.
Jamal helped kickstart the careers of many amazing artists including Stormzy, Ed Sheeran, Jessie J, Emeli Sandé and Yungen to name a few.
.
“‘Be the change you want to see in the world’ is one of my favourite quotes and something I’m trying to live by. If we can look at music and culture in the same way, people won’t be told ‘no you can’t do that’, they’ll chase bigger dreams and be free to express themselves how they want. The arts can be the most powerful vehicle for change and should be respected as such.”
~Jamal Edwards

- ‘Water bear’ is the common name for a Tardigrade.
- Tardigrades are micro creatures, found everywhere on earth.
- They are the most resilient creatures known.
- They can survive and adapt to their surroundings, even in outer space.
- Their resilience and ability to adapt and survive inspires us in everything we do. We love them.
