Sam Fender, Mahalia and Lewis Capaldi have made the shortlist for the 2019 BRITs Critics’ Choice Award.
Capaldi has said he is ‘absolutely honoured’ to have been nominated, while Fender added:
“I’ve been watching The BRITs since I was a child, and my brother would let me stay up and watch them live; so to be nominated for the Critics’ Choice award is crazy.”
“What an honour! A big thank you to anyone who has put their faith in my music.”
“I can’t believe it,” said Mahalia. “I’m truly honoured to be nominated for the BRITs Critics’ Choice Award. The last year has been surreal to say the least but this really is the cherry on top. Thank you so much to all those who voted for me.”
The winner of the Critics’ Choice Award will be revealed on December 7th, well in time for the 2019 Brits ceremony which takes place at the O2 Arena in London on February 20th next year.
