Youth Music Awards 2023 took place in London last night (October 18th).
A ceremony set up to platform and encourage young voices, Youth Music Awards has grown in strength year by year. Supported by numerous industry bodies, the glitzy ceremony took hold of East London’s Troxt venue last night – October 18th – for a special ceremony.
A number of guests popped up to present awards, including Mercury nominee Kojey Radical, dance duo Bicep, pop polymath MNEK, and Radio 1 host Clara Amfo, amongst others.
Amelia Dimoldenberg presented an award, and she comments:
“It feels amazing to be here tonight to support young creatives and young musicians. It was an honour to be a part of the judging panel – I really loved sharing the expertise I have, and hope that it will be beneficial to the career paths of these future stars.”
Kojey Radical added:
“It’s an absolute honour, the Youth Music Awards are so important. I wish I had something like this when I was coming up. Looking around seeing so many familiar faces, it’s nice to know so many of my peers also support the Youth Music Awards.”
