BRITS HONOR CELESTE

12/6/19

Polydor signing Celeste has won the inaugural BRITs 2020 Rising Star Award, and is the first artist announced to perform at the BRIT Awards in February. It’s the second year in a row that UMG imprint Polydor has won the developing artist gong.

Celeste was up against Dirty Hit signing Beabadoobee and Insanity's Joy Crookes. Previously titled Critics’ Choice, the winner of Rising Star receives a performance slot on the main show for the first time in BRITs history next year.

Celeste signed to Polydor last year and has since garnered critical acclaim for a string of singles including “Lately,” “Father’s Son” and latterly “Strange,” which was heavily supported at Radio 1.
