Talk of the week
Q&A with Jamal Edwards - CEO of SBTV
Friday 2nd March 2012
"Was nervous but I think that went very well. .I love doing talks like that. Big up everyone at #DMU." was his tweet after leaving the crowd in awe after an inspiring Q&A session in a packed out Lecture Hall in De Montfort University.
His post was then followed by countless responses all commenting on how 'humble' and 'passionate' the young entrepreneur was throughout the event.
During the hour long Q&A, Jamal answered many questions about his background, achievements (past and upcoming) and the future for the leading UK online youth broadcasting site - SBTV. Showing genuine modesty when asked about his celebrity contacts (such as his good friend Ed Sheeran after filming the top ten hit 'You need me, I don't need you') saying it's "just crazy" and "nuts" when thinking of all his accomplishments in the entertainment world.
Jamal promoted self-belief and hard work, also telling us of how he uses his expertise to help others wishing to break into the world of music or entertainment, offering work placements and offering constructive advice to those who seek it. Quoting 'Some people see things the way they are and ask why, I dream things that never were and ask, why not?' by Robert F Kennedy saying this is a quote he often refers to on a daily basis.
With his USB stick to hand, Jamal also revealed to the audience an exclusive clip which he filmed himself the day before. The filming took place in the same location at the blockbuster hit 'The Kings Speech' and featured an up-and-coming new artist Jamal introduced as "another Ed Sheeran", inviting the audience into his world.
A perfect representative of the strength and creativity of the younger generation, Jamal Edwards - CEO at twenty-one, was simply real and inspirational.
