About BWMA
Wales' First Black Music Awards Platform
Our Mission
The Black Welsh Music Awards is the nation's first dedicated platform celebrating the transformational contributions of Black musicians to Wales' creative tapestry. We honour excellence across Jazz, rap and grime, Afrobeat, hip hop, reggae, RnB, gospel, Welsh-language tracks and beyond — every voice, every genre, every story.
"We brought you jazz, and now we'll bring you something else."
More Than Just Awards
BWMA exists to build infrastructure — mentorship, opportunity, visibility, and a permanent place in the Welsh music economy for Black artists. The trophy is the headline; the year-round work is the legacy.
