MOBO FOUNDER KANYA KING TALKS 'BE LIKE YOU' ON CNN

I feel very lucky to have had the founder of MOBO, Kanya King, mention my music and particularly my forthcoming single 'Be Like You' in her piece for CNN. Kanya King, who was asked to pick her top 5 acts at the moment, mentioned me amongst household names like Mary J Blige, Estelle and Labrinth. She said:

“Now KOF is an artist who shows it’s not just the artists from London who have a big future ahead of them. We rate the young man from Liverpool so highly that we made sure MOBO TV shot an acoustic session with him and one of the songs we were lucky enough to hear live was “Be Like You.”

The singer/songwriter’s second single is getting huge support from the UK radio stations like 1Xtra and Choice FM, and rightly so. He is re-injecting true soul music back in the public eye and I can only support this as soul music is the first genre of music I fell in love with. It was one of the reasons why I started up the MOBO Awards in 1996.

Apart from, of course, Adele, there are not enough musicians out there who can really touch your inner self like the greats, such as Aretha Franklin, could many years ago. Obviously, these artists are plying their trade in the UK, but KOF, however, is getting the recognition he deserves quicker than most”
