This year's Mobo Awards promise to be one of the most exciting music nights of the year, featuring new stars of the future alongside some of the biggest names in black music. Former Spice Girl Mel B and Reverend Run, the iconic founder of hip-hop act Run DMC, host the event from London's Wembley Arena.
In a year that has seen British black music rise to the top of the charts, Leona Lewis, Estelle (pictured) Dizzee Rascal and Wiley are the most nominated artists at the 13th annual Mobo Awards. Other contenders include Adele, Duffy, Chris Brown and Jay-Z.
Among tonight's performances are John Legend, Jay Sean, Estelle, Flo Rida and Sugababes, who collaborate with Taio Cruz. Last year saw an unexpected performance from Amy Winehouse, and this year will again bring a few surprises. Among the guests appearing are Alesha Dixon, some of the British Olympic medallists and last year's host, Jamelia. There are also backstage interviews, hosted by 1Xtra BBC's Ace and Vis.
