Jamal’s Biography

Jamal, a West London native, is a well-known figure in the British rap and grime music scenes, according to CNN. Jamal entered the profession after getting a video camera from his parents when he was 15 years old. According to NBC News, he began his career as an early YouTuber who shared music and videos from up-and-coming artists.

“I remember sitting there thinking, ‘Why can’t I find these online?’ and if they were online, it was only low-quality versions,” Jamal said on BBC Radio 1Xtra in 2017. “…so I said, ‘Alright, cool, I’ll try to video folks in my neighborhood and upload it to YouTube.’ From there, it just kept growing and growing.”

SBTV, or SmokeyBarz TV, was born as a result of the expansion. SBTV “provides a platform to discover and break young artists, enjoy your favorite performances, and unearth great talent,” according to the company’s YouTube account. His YouTube channel set the “gold standard for online music platforms in the UK,” according to Complex UK.

According to CNN, Jamal won an MBE (Member of the British Empire) Award in 2014 for his “services to music.” At the time, he was 24 years old.
