pointblank Recordings’ in-house A&R director Kwame Kwaten attended the prestigious 25th annual MOBO awards alongside the likes of Dreya Mac, FelixThe1st and Finch Fetti whose track ‘Own Brand (Baddie)’ took home the award for Song of The Year. Industry veteran Kwame, whose successes include signing to Atlantic Records, being nominated for a Mercury Prize and managing critically acclaimed artists like Laura Mvula, worked closely with Dreya, Felix, and Finch to help them ink their record deal.
Equipped with solid industry insights, Kwame has mentored and developed many students on our higher education courses giving them the opportunity to sign their tracks to our in-house label pointblank Recordings, plus helping them to navigate the music business and flourish as artists.
The star-studded event included a range of electrifying performances from promising newcomers like Cat Burns and British girl group Flo, to three-time Grammy award winner Nile Rodgers.
The glamorous awards honouring the work and growth of British black music on a global scale took place at London’s Wembley Arena and saw gifted artists including Little Simz, Knucks and Pink Pantheress taking home awards.
