Kanya King's Favourite Album

Whitney Houston ‘I Look To You'

Whitney Houston returns with a stellar new album featuring inspirational ballads, feel-good mid-tempos and dance floor fillers. But it's with the ballads she really shines: ‘I Look To You' and ‘I Didn't Know My Own Strength'.

Her personal struggles are well-known and here she shows us exactly where she's been and how far she's come. Diva is a word that is all too often thrown around, but in her case there is no other adjective to describe her. Well, maybe icon.

About Kanya

Kanya's success story began 13 years ago back in 1996 when, while working as a TV researcher, she launched the MOBO awards, dedicated to celebrating the music, and culture, of artists who are inspired and influenced by black music. She famously financed the first event by re-mortgaging her house - but the gamble certainly paid off!

In 1999, Kanya was awarded an MBE for services to the music industry and community. She is also a consultant for a number of Government initiatives for disadvantaged youths - including the Home Office Task Force to reduce gun violence. And she is a founder member of Net Women, an influential body of high profile women in the media. Most recently, Kanya has teamed up with Thomson Local to encourage enterprise in young people and to inspire them to set up their own businesses.
