Jamal said: “It was really good being back at my old college. Loads has changed but it was great to see Gareth and talk to the students.”
Jamal started SBTV as a YouTube channel and built it into a world-recognised multimedia brand, helping to start the careers of artists such as Rita Ora, Jessie J and Ed Sheeran.
Creative Mentor Network aims to pair young people with industry professionals in preparation for the world of work.
