From side hustle to Order of the British Empire. The name Jamal Edwards is a notorious name in the music and media industry. He spent his earlier years of his life in Luton and later moved closer into London. From the early age of 15, now in West London, visionary Jamal had already started shooting videos and soon made his vision a reality with the creation of SBTV. Since the starting of his channel, Jamal Edwards has gone on to accomplish so much more and has given so much back to the community he’s came from, stating “Those opportunities set me up and they’re not there now for young people” when it came to speaking on his relations with the youth clubs that helped his career. Coming from a family who share a passion for music, Jamal had a clear vision from early of what he wanted his platform to be about.
SBTV is a channel respectfully known throughout the UK ,founded in November 2006, introducing so much fresh talent and raw original content straight from the streets. This is really the foundation to many of the media channels we have here today and countless artists who are now lavishing in success have appeared for a freestyle performance, from Dave to Stormzy, Benny Banks, Ed Sheeran, Nines, MIST, Boy Better Know and more. If not already, check out the videos on the channel for an insight into the history of UK grime/rap.
Jamal has been noticed for his immense effect on the community and attained an MBE award back in 2014. Which is an award of high prominence addressed by members of the royal family. Only a few have achieved such awards and Jamal is among the few in the industry who have.
Jamal has taken that first step of creating something new with a fresh platform for artist to rap their best 8 bars. Sculpting another new community for talent to project their bars onto a bigger platform. We know that Jamal is one of the best when it comes to leading the path and creating a new platform so it’s very interesting to see the growth of this and to see the new artists who will use it to their full potential. You can find more about 8bars on the website : 8Bars.co
Jamal Edwards is a very smart successful entrepreneur and is very ambitious so we expect him to only grow and further his company and projects while doing so. His 8 bars platform will most definitely give smaller artist a larger platform to be heard and grow and we will love to see the platform expand.
