For the launch of the 2011 MOBO Awards, we teamed up with Muzu.TV to cover the red carpet, shooting interviews with urban stars including Dappy and Dev.

Launched in 1996, by founder and CEO Kanya King MBE, the MOBO Awards were the first Awards show in Europe to celebrate urban music. In our 16 year history, the MOBO Awards have, undoubtedly, played an instrumental role in elevating black music and culture to mainstream popular status in the UK.

The Awards continue to attract the largest prime time multicultural audience in Europe, due in no small part to the fact that MOBO has played host to the music industry’s finest, witnessing jaw-dropping performances from the cream of both UK and international talent.

Over the years artists have included: Janet Jackson, P Diddy, Mark Ronson, JLS, Tinie Tempah, Dionne Warwick,  Tina Turner, Jay- Z, LL Cool J, Amy Winehouse, Usher and John Legend to name but a few. Now in its 16th year, the MOBO Awards has helped champion the extraordinary rise of urban music over the past two decades from niche, to now leading the UK charts.

The 2010 awards featured some truly unique performances and collaborations from some of the best talent around and the forthcoming Awards Show at the SECC Glasgow on 5th October 2011 looks set to be an even more awe inspiring event.
