Holly Humberstone has been named 2022's BRITs Rising Star, supported by BBC Radio 1.

Holly has achieved many accolades in the last year, from being nominated for the Ivor Novello Rising Star Award with Apple Music, coming runner up in the BBC Sound of 2021, chosen as YouTube’s next Artist On The Rise, and Deezer’s Focus artist, amongst intimate and groundbreaking performances on Jimmy Fallon, James Corden, and Later... With Jools Holland. 

The BRITs Rising Star award caps off an exciting year and in 2022 Holly will take her honest storytelling “tattoo lyrics” on tour supporting Olivia Rodrigo on 19 dates across the US including New York and Los Angeles. 

Speaking of the win, Holly said: “I remember watching the BRITs with my parents each year and being totally awe struck by the artists coming together in what felt like another universe. Now to be named the BRITs Rising Star and nominated alongside two other incredible women, with the songs that started within those four walls at home is so mad. It just doesn’t feel real. This year has been a wild ride and a year of firsts, and I am so grateful and thankful for everyone who has helped make this happen!”

Holly will perform at The BRITs ceremony, which takes place at London’s O2 Arena on Tuesday 8th February and broadcast on ITV and the ITV Hub. Watch a special Holly Humberstone performance for the BRITs Rising Star session below:
