Music Entrepreneur and YouTube Star Jamal Edwards Dead At 31
"It was a frustration of going to school and everyone talking about ‘how do we get our videos on MTV,'" Edwards said. "YouTube was like a year old. I was like ‘I've got a camera for Christmas, I'm going to start filming people and uploading it.'"
"Everyone was looking at me like ‘what are you doing, like you can compete with these major corporations', but I think I was early enough to believe that I could make a change.""50% is the talent and 50% is the platform," he said. "I try to focus on people that haven't got the platform. As well as getting a really well-known artist I want to get the up-and-coming ones as well.
