RAYE Shines Bright at Brit Awards 2024: A Night of Triumph and Recognition, See the Full List of Champions

The prestigious Brit Awards, the pinnacle of UK music, unfolded in London on Saturday, drawing some of the biggest names in pop and rock from around the globe, all vying for recognition with coveted statuettes.

It was a triumphant night for English singer-songwriter RAYE, who made history with a record-breaking seven nominations. She dominated the evening, clinching five Brits, including Best New Artist, Artist of the Year, Song of the Year, and Album of the Year. Notably, she invited her grandmother on stage to share in her success, a heartwarming moment as she accepted one of her numerous accolades. RAYE also made history as the first female songwriter to win the Songwriter of the Year award.

Prior to her solo stardom, RAYE made significant contributions behind the scenes in music, collaborating as a songwriter and producer for renowned artists such as Beyoncé, Rihanna, John Legend, Ellie Goulding, and David Guetta. Her debut album, “My 21st Century Blues,” received widespread acclaim following the viral success of her 2022 single “Escapism” featuring 070 Shake.

Another highlight of the evening was the presence of Kylie Minogue, who was honored with the prestigious Global Icon award and delivered a captivating medley of her greatest hits to close the show.

Joining RAYE in the Artist of the Year category were Dua Lipa, Arlo Parks, Jessie Ware, Little Simz, and Olivia Dean, marking a notable shift from the previous year’s nominations, which lacked any female-identifying acts.

In the Best New Artist category, RAYE faced competition from Mahalia, Olivia Dean, PinkPantheress, and Yussef Dayes.

The Brit Awards ceremony, held at the iconic O2 Arena in London, was hosted by Maya Jama, Roman Kemp, and Clara Amfo. The lineup of performers included Dua Lipa, Minogue, RAYE, Tate McRae, Jungle, and more.
