There are a few things that can determine whether or not you’ve “made it” in the music industry - a massive following, a music label and your own company, sure. But a TV commercial based on your success story? Now that’s making it!

YouTube partner Jamal Edwards stars in the latest Google Chrome ad in ‘’The web is what you make of it” series, which explores the amazing things people have done with the web.

The ad features the rise of 20-year-old Jamal Edwards, who is the founder and CEO of SB.TV, aka the UK’s leading online youth broadcast channel. He got his start four years ago when he began videoing friends and uploading them to his YouTube channel, SmokeyBarz. Now known as SB.TV, his channel has upwards of 61 million views and over 90,000 subscribers. The channel features impromptu live performances, behind the scenes footage, acoustic “back room” sessions and interviews.

Jamal has filmed some of the world’s biggest stars on SB.TV. Recently, he and his growing team have sat down with the likes of Jessie J, secured the first UK interview with Nicki Minaj and even chatted to the YouTube sensation Justin Bieber. He has recently signed a deal with Sony RCA giving him his own record label, Just Jam Records, and we can only imagine what’s in store.

The Google Chrome ad made its debut during "The X Factor" on Saturday. A coincidence that means a lot to Jamal as his mother, who makes an appearance in the ad, is a former contestant, coming fourth in the second series.
