Kanya King MBE, is CEO and founder of the MOBO organisation. She lives in east London with her partner

My job is always busy – as founder of the MOBO (Music of Black Origin) awards, I deal with everything from press launches for the annual award show – we’ve had amazing artists like Rihanna, Jay-Z and Sade perform – to meetings with advertising agencies. I’m just as happy dealing with the nuts and bolts stuff to closing important deals.

A typical day starts at 7am. I put the news on, grab my skipping rope and do a mini-workout while I’m watching TV. Exercise helps me get ready for the day, mentally and physically. Then it’s a quick soak in the bath before my other half drives me to our swish new offices in Soho for 9am. It’s the perfect time for us to catch up and have a chat.

I’m currently off coffee, thanks to my fantastic nutritionist, so I’m always lugging around a shopping bag packed with bananas, strawberries, blueberries, blackberries and milk for my morning smoothie. I’m militant about getting my five a day. My handbag’s always brimming with the day’s essentials – everything from sponsorship contracts to a spare pair of shoes in case I need to change for a last-minute party. Luckily I have a wardrobe in my office so I never need to go home before going out. I absolutely love the high street for fashion, Warehouse is great and I’m really into a label called Aftershock.
