Music of Black Origin is the name and the Pre-MOBO Awards gala dinner in Boisdale, Canary Wharf on 21 November 2017, was all about celebrating the diversity and heart of music of black origin.

Fill Me In crooner, Craig David, took home the “Best R&B/Soul Act” Award (in association with Mi-Soul), his sixth MOBO Award win, previously scoring the prestigious Best Male Act last year, and winning Best UK Newcomer, Best R&B Act and Best UK Single of The Year in 2000, and Best UK Act in 2001.
