The MOBO Awards are awards in "Music of Black Origin", established in 1996 by Kanya King and Andy Ruffell. It is held annually in the United Kingdom to recognise artists of any ethnicity or nationality performing black music.
In 2009, the awards ceremony was held in Glasgow for the first time. Until then, it had been held in London. In 2011, the ceremony returned to Scotland for a second time.
Kanya King launched the MOBO awards in 1996 aiming to establish a platform for music that, according to King, encompasses urban, hip hop, R&B and reggae. After failing to raise support for her plan, she raised funds by re-mortgaging her house.
