James Bay has won the Brits’ Critics’ Choice award.
The singer-songwriter saw off competition from George the Poet and Years & Years to take the award, having also been shortlisted for the BBC’s Sound of 2015 prize this week. He said:
"I'm pretty speechless. After all the years I've spent watching the Brits and even after this year, watching my fan base grow so much, I never thought I'd actually be getting an award myself. And what a huge honour to be following the incredible artists who've won before! I'm really chuffed, thank you to everyone who has supported me."
Bay succeeds Sam Smith in winning the award, while he has lined up an April tour of the UK, including a night at the O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire.
