If you’re keeping up with the UK music scene, you are aware that today was a big day for its artists. Wondering why? Well, the BRITs, in majority of cases, determine the next star or just whose music would we listen throughout the year.
Also, it kind of sets off someone’s career, so it’s rather a big deal in music industry and among artists.
Back in December 2016, we found out the winner of Critics’ Choice award, as well as the date of the ceremony. So, while we wait for 22nd February (mark your calendars) here is the full list of nominees. I have my favorites, do you?

You can hear pain and honesty in his voice and people tend to easily connect with that. A true talent, that man. Cannot wait for his debut album!
P.S You’re welcome 😀 and thank you for the follow too.

The whole family have been listening to his music all weekend, on Google Play Music he has a couple of albums lol or really long ep’s dating back to 2012, that’s what I like to see, someone who has learned his craft and backs it up with some life experience, lol better than 8 weeks on x factor
