SBTV, an online music channel that emerged in the early days of YouTube, is celebrating its 20-year anniversary. Founded in 2006 by pioneering DJ and entrepreneur Jamal Edwards with a camcorder and a vision, the platform played a crucial role in launching the careers of numerous artists, including Dave, Ed Sheeran, Jessie J, and Skepta.
Jamal Edwards passed away in 2022 at the age of 31. As SBTV reaches its 20-year milestone, it aims to discover a new generation of rappers by reviving some of its popular freestyle formats. His sister, Tanisha, has taken over as CEO, dedicated to preserving his legacy and promoting his message of self-belief.
To commemorate the occasion, artists previously featured on SBTV, such as Tinie Tempah, Lady Leshurr, and Tinchy Stryder, are scheduled to perform at a special show in London next week. This event will also benefit the Jamal Edwards Self Belief Trust, continuing Jamal's commitment to helping others and finding the next wave of musical talent.
