The producer's debut album 'The Playlist' is releasing in April
British Indian musician, Steel Banglez, was rewarded for his contribution to music at the 19th Urban Music Awards on February 28, 2023.
The annual event took place at the iconic O2 Arena in London and was attended by some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry.
The leading celebration of urban music had a star-studded line-up that included Louis Theroux, Krishnan Guru Murthy, Bugzy Malone, D Double E and Gok Wan.
Steel Banglez was also among the celebrities and picked up the ‘Best Producer’ award, for a second year running.
There was an outcry of jubilation as the award was announced, with many fans taking to social media to share their happiness.
Jasroop Singh commented: “Well deserved” and Amandeep Sajjan said: “Congratulations brother, no one deserves it more!”
As Banglez accepted his prize on stage, he took to the mic to thank his team, family and fans for all the support.
