    This year’s BRIT Awards Rising Star Award winner has been announced as Griff.

    The “Black Hole” singer, signed to Warner Records in 2019 and has seen her go from strength to strength musically. Despite 2020 being a challenging year for many musical artists, Griff made sure to make this one to remember as she was nominated for a Rising Star Ivor Novello Award in 2020 alongside taking over Tate Modern for her second ever London show. Her soulful, emotive vocals were showcased on “Love Is A Compass” which sound tracked Disney’s Christmas ad campaign.

    Speaking about winning the award, Griff said “In my head I’m still screaming from the phone call when I found out. It’s honestly such a miracle: how on earth did we manage to win a BRIT and break through during a pandemic?” 

    Griff has already kicked off 2021 in a big way as alongside winning this award she’s appeared in the top 5 of BBC’s Sound of 2021 list and made her US TV debut on Late Night With Seth Meyers.
