Spotify is once again supporting the British Music Business Awards, sponsoring the always competitive annual A&R: Black Contemporary Music category.
Music’s most enjoyable night of the year returns to its home, the Grand Connaught Rooms in London’s Covent Garden, on the evening of Tuesday 5th November.
Spotify has sponsored the Black Contemporary Music Award since its inception (last year it was won by 5K Records’ Kilo Jalloh, Moe Bah and Mel Ijieh).
Safiya Lambie-Knight, the company’s head of Nordic music partnerships, commented: “Discovery is our biggest concern and A&R’s vital role in this is as important as ever.
“Talent development remains critical to maintaining a vibrant and diverse music landscape, and we deserve to celebrate these professionals, especially those shaping the future of contemporary black music.”

The British Music Business Awards are now sold out.
