Music entrepreneur Jamal Edwards dies at 31 of sudden illness

Tributes have been paid to the music and YouTube mogul Jamal Edwards – who has died at the age of 31 after a sudden illness.

Edwards, who founded the urban music platform SBTV, was a pioneer of Britain’s grime and rap scene – helping to launch the careers of stars like Ed Sheeran, Emeli Sande and Jessie J. He was an ambassador for the Prince’s Trust and had been awarded an MBE for services to the music industry.

What a loss! May his soul rest in perfect peace, praying for his parents, family and friends 🙏🏾

This guy started at 15, 2007. Jesse j, active since 2005. Ed Sheeran, active since 2004. Am I missing something? Is someone being a little over-hyped? He seems to have had a million searches in a year, more than me, but that's not really that many?
