This year’s MOBO UnSung Tour will take place in October and showcase 2016 winner Alika (pictured), Lloyd Luther, Mega & Jay Alexzander alongside a headliner across three UK cities. Manchester sees hot new Mancunian MC, Tobi Sunmola with special guest Two4Kay added to the line-up. RnB Songstress Tanya Lacey will be serenading the crowds in Bristol, whist in London Tiggs Da Author has been added to showcase his unique blend of hip hop soul.
The London leg of the Tour promises to be a very hot ticket with all 10 finalists of the MOBO UnSung Class of 2016 performing (for more info on acts see below).
MOBO UnSung is one of the country’s strongest talent competitions for unsigned artists producing original work. A nationwide search culminates in 10 finalists, with the top 3 receiving grants towards their work, as well as a year long artist development program of industry and production workshops facilitated by MOBO in addition to the
MOBO UnSung Tour.
Various UnSung artists have gone on to sign deals with labels and publishers (Alika, Jacob Banks, Mulally), tour with global stars such as Justin Bieber (MIC LOWRY), put out major releases (Geovarn, Tiana Major and Juls with 2.9m plays) and even gone on to win their own MOBO Award in 2016 (Nadia Rose who entered the competition in 2014).
