You may have recently seen the new Google Chrome advert that features the rise of young entrepreneur (in fact 'media mogul' might be a more apt title!) Jamal Edwards and his current and innovative business SBTV. In short, SBTV is a website that broadcasts video interviews, live performances and music promos from a range of major artists including Justin Bieber, Jessie J, Example and Ellie Goulding. As the advert reveals, Jamal first created SBTV as a wee teenager after receiving a video camera for his birthday but through persistence and passion for what he loves, he is now hitting the big time. It just shows that if you want something badly enough and are willing to graft, you too can achieve great things like Jamal. If you have not yet checked out the website, click here to view Jamal's work. Like me, I think you'll be hooked!
