Stars including Vick Hope, award winning UK rap icon Lethal Bizzle and Dréya Mac, one of Vogue UK’s Musicians To Rule 2022, attended a glittering ceremony for the Youth Music Awards.
The annual event celebrates a more diverse future of music, platforming emerging talent and leaders who might face barriers into the industries because of who they are, where they’re from or what they’re going through. With sponsors including TikTok, YouTube, Amazon Music and Dr Martens, the event called for industry-wide collaboration and commitment to equalising access to the music industries for the next generation.
Guests celebrated 12 Award winners, judged by renowned music industry figures including BRIT-nominated singer-songwriter Mahalia, internationally acclaimed DJ duo BICEP and BBC Radio 1’s Sian Eleri. The Spit Game, who took home the Live Performance award were given another surprise on the night, as Lethal Bizzle made a special guest appearance and took to the stage to present them with their award.
