The nominations for BRITs Rising Star 2025 have been announced.
The trophy is one of the most coveted awards for rising musicians, with past winners including everyone from Adele to Sam Smith via Jorja Smith, Celeste, FLO, and last year’s victors The Last Dinner Party.
2025 looks to be a prime crop, with the final three names being confirmed earlier today. Songwriter Elmiene is a wonderful talent, who recently packed out London’s Troxy venue. Alt-pop duo Good Neighbours go viral with their every utterance, while Myles Smith is a truly powerful vocalist.
Three very different talents, the trio were ecstatic to learn of their nominations.
Elmine comments…
“I’m extremely grateful to be nominated for the Rising Star award. If I could put the feeling of being nominated into words, I would say it’s like being completely satisfied with a meal you bought and then finding out it comes with dessert and a drink. Didn’t know it could get any better.”
Good Neighbours add:
“The BRITs have always been a huge dream for both of us growing up. We started Good Neighbours purely for the fun of it, so to be up for an actual BRIT award at this stage in our career is the biggest honour. Thank you.”
Myles Smith finishes:
“I’m incredibly honoured to be nominated for the BRITs Rising Star award. Growing up in Luton, I started playing pubs and open mic nights when I was just 12 and music quickly became my way of understanding the world and connecting with others. This recognition feels like a reflection of that journey – the highs, the challenges and the incredible people who’ve supported me along the way. Thank you for seeing me, for listening and for believing in the music. It means the world.”
The winner will be unveiled on BBC Radio 1’s New Music Show with Jack Saunders at 6pm.
The BRIT Awards takes place on March 1st.
