Jamaal Burkmar

Jamaal Burkmar is a UK-based content creator whose work bridges film, music, literature, and British culture with a thoughtful, inquisitive tone.

Known for his engaging commentary on actors, trends, and current releases, Jamaal brings a journalistic curiosity and critical edge to his videos, offering sharp observations that resonate widely with viewers. His content is both accessible and layered, often drawing connections between popular culture and deeper artistic or societal themes.

He offers nuanced takes on everything from new film trailers to standout performances, cultivating a space that invites both casual audiences and avid cinephiles. His voice is distinct: intelligent without being inaccessible, culturally rooted without being insular, and consistently curious. Though his current content is focused on cultural commentary, Jamaal’s creative roots are in contemporary dance. An award-winning choreographer, he gained early recognition for Ocean, a piece created as a student at the Northern School for Contemporary Dance and later commissioned by VERVE, the school’s postgraduate company - a rare achievement. His choreography has been supported by organizations including Phoenix Dance Theatre, Dance Hub Birmingham, and Mobius Dance.
