Jamal Edwards
Digital Entrepreneur, Founder of SB.TV &the Face of the Google Chrome Advert
Jamal Edwards founded SB.TV at the age of 15, with little idea or vision of what the future held. His raw and unique venture relied on friends rapping to camera, and soon began to attract increasingly major names in the world of urban music, eventually becoming a lauded music and lifestyle media platform with global reach, which launched the career of international superstar Ed Sheeran.
“I was impressed by his confidence the first time I met him… I saw first hand how keen young people were to look to him for inspiration.” Sir Richard Branson (as told to Time Magazine)
His UK online urban music channel has grown fast and strong, boasting a subscriber base of over 640,000 with over 340 million views and has featured interviews with an impressive and uniquely high-level catalogue of guests, including politicians David Cameron and Ed Milliband, as well as major international artists such as Nicki Minaj and Jessie J In 2011 Jamal became the face of the Google Chrome ad which was the second most popular YouTube ad that year. “The web is what you make of it” series of ads received more than 750,000 views in six days. Jamal is a patron for The Prince’s Trust and Access to Music and is committed to using his success to inspire young entrepreneurs and all young people.[/expand]
Having gone from creating his own YouTube channel to curating stages at Bestival and Wireless, from filming on British housing estates to recording interviews from 10 Downing Street to the Bermuda Triangle, internet entrepreneur and self-made media mogul Jamal can now boast an expanding business portfolio and a solid reputation that sees him inspiring a new wave of digital entrepreneurialism.[/expand]
