We’re so sorry to hear that Kanya King CBE, founder of the MOBO Awards, has died at just 57, more than a year after sharing that she had been diagnosed with colon cancer.
What a legacy she leaves behind - a true trailblazer who changed British music and culture for the better.
Our thoughts are with her family, friends, and everyone who knew and loved her.

'The music world has lost one of its most fearless champions.'

So if you've ever thought about volunteering, we'd love to hear from you! Whether you can spare a few hours occasionally or would like to get more involved, you could help us reach more people and support our local community so please get in touch!
