In the new edition of Music Week, as part of a special cover story celebrating the life and work of Kanya King, we gathered a range of voices from across the business to share their memories of the MOBO founder. Here, in the second part of our round up of their reflections, we hear from Joe Kentish, Little Simz, Simon Robson, Emeli Sandé, Myles Smith, Dickon Stainer and many more…
Colin Lester, JEM Music Group: “I had the enormous pleasure of counting Kanya as a friend and being a trustee on the MOBO Trust. She had that wonderful dreamer’s spirit that many of us have, and she never stopped dreaming big and making those dreams come true! Her legacy as a kind and beautiful person will live on. RIP, dear friend!”
