Online Platforms are generally the platforms we will use
the most to advertise our music, as its free and in terms of
gathering feedback from our audience, we can connect

SBTV run my Jamal Edwards is the biggest media platform
for the younger generation who streams a variety of music.

of music as they show a range of UK talent
Link Up TV is also a popular media outlet which
the younger generation use, its similar to SBTV,

the main stream due to its user friendly layout.
