UK Media platforms that focus on our culture and promote talent no matter what medium they are will always have our respect as they are helping to gradually reshape how our homegrown talent is discovered. We were very excited to learn that SBTV will be hosting a British talent showcase at American Festival SXSW this year.
SBTV Presents: Strictly British will feature performances from our favourite upcoming artists such as Stormzy, Section Boyz, Shakka, Frisco, Blakie (w/ Elf Kid), Mumdance and Iglooghost.
The event will be held at prestigious SXSW venue, Main Event II and only will be open to Official SXSW Music badge holders (subject to capacity).
Showcase producer and curator British Underground will produce the Strictly British showcase in partnership with SBTV.
founder and CEO of SBTV, Jamal Edwards MBE had this to say:
“SBTV has always spotlighted great British talent, so it is fitting that we are the music platform who will be representing the best emerging artists from the UK this year. The great thing about British music is it’s variety and as SBTV is a channel that supports great music regardless of it’s genre, our line-up reflects Britain’s diverse music scene. With high profile US acts and media paying UK music a lot of attention at the moment it’s more important now than ever to have a carefully curated SXSW showcase exclusively spotlighting UK music.”
and British Underground CEO Crispin Parry added:
“We are very excited about The Best Of British and working with SBTV. British Underground have been hosting UK stages, panels and networking spaces at international industry events including SXSW for almost 15 years now, so we hope our experience staging world class events at music industry festivals will be a strong resource to SBTV and the acts representing the UK this year.”
