“We’re so honoured and thrilled to be nominated for the Rising Star award,” The Last Dinner Party said.
The Last Dinner Party, Caity Baser and Sekou are the nominees for the 2024 BRITs Rising Star Award, with the winner set to be announced on Thursday, December 7th.
“When I heard that I’ve been nominated for the BRITs Rising Star award this year, I literally screamed for five minutes and chucked everything around my room,” Baser told Music Week.
“I used to watch the awards on TV every year when I was a kid but had no idea how a kid from an estate in Southampton would ever get there…All I have to say is I am so happy and thank you so much. It’s really a dream come true!”
“Being nominated for BRITs Rising Star is absolutely crazy,” Sekou added.
I grew up in a small town and watched the BRITs every single year. The performances were always amazing – Adele, Amy, Sam Smith, Beyoncé. I remember being 10 years old when Adele sang Someone Like You for the first time and being like…Yes, that’s gonna be me one day. Don’t even get me started on Beyoncé. I’m so grateful to be considered for this.
