Notes to editors:
MOBO UnSung, headed up by Wizdom Layne, is one of the country's strongest talent competitions for unsigned artists producing original work. MOBO UnSung identifies and exposes new ground-breaking music artists and aims to provide emerging talent with priceless opportunities which can significantly contribute to their personal and creative development. The MOBO UnSung alumni features some of today's hottest talent including Tiana Major9, Juls, Tion Wayne, Mic Lowry, and Graft, who all got early support in their careers via the MOBO UnSung programme. This year's UnSung ‘Class Of 2022’ have already achieved major milestones, which includes live performance opportunities at Strawberries & Creem festival, Boomtown, Glastonbury Festival, and the UnSung Tour, as well as producing music videos and gearing up to release a compilation album via Marshall Records in November 2022.
About MOBO Organisation
The MOBO Awards were established in 1996 by Kanya King CBE to motivate, elevate and celebrate the outstanding achievements of artists in under-served musical genres, from gospel, jazz, soul, RnB and reggae to hip hop (and later grime and afrobeats). Now in its 25th year, MOBO is a pioneer in its field, a movement and has developed into much more than just an awards ceremony, it is now an iconic, year-round, agenda-setting global brand that successfully champions diversity and inclusion in music and broader cultural arenas. It strives to support emerging and independent talent (through MOBO UnSung and the MOBO Help Musicians Fund) and has provided an early platform for some of the nation’s most-loved artists, from Amy Winehouse and Emeli Sandé to Sam Smith, Stormzy, Skepta, etc. MOBO pursues its purpose to create more opportunities and access for diverse talent across the creative industries in film, TV, fashion, art and media. A drive to deliver social and cultural change is embedded in the organisation’s DNA. With an ongoing successful talent development programme, a number of Executive Fellowships in the creative workplace and a host of annual training and educational opportunities for young people, MOBO influences the lives of countless people every year. In 2016, the charitable foundation MOBO Trust was established to support young people realise their potential in a wide range of disciplines within the creative sector.
MOBO´s latest venture is a revolutionary new platform. MOBOLISE is a digital platform to connect black talent, with the best career opportunities, within the most forward-thinking organisations. Powered by Accenture, the MOBOLISE platform is backed by UK talent that already includes Emeli Sandé, Afua Hirsch, Mo Gilligan and George The Poet. It will offer the chance for people of all ages to network with leaders and employees from different industries to gain mentorship, boost confidence, find vacancies, showcase skills and attend networking and mentoring events that level the playing field of opportunities. MOBOLISE will also then offer businesses the chance to reach underrepresented and undiscovered talent and educate their boards to prevent unconscious bias.
