The Norwegian pop vocalist joins a list of previous winners including Jack Garratt, Years & Years, Sam Smith, Adele, Ellie Goulding, Jessie J and last year's winner Ray BLK.
Speaking to the BBC about the win, she said:
“It’s a lot to take in to have won something as prestigious as BBC Music Sound Of. I feel honoured as there are so many other artists I look up to who have won this before me, and honestly, I’m just really happy and proud of what my team and I have achieved together. I’m from a small town called Ålesund in Norway. I’m still 21 and it’s quite crazy to get this recognition. I’m very excited about the year ahead and sharing new music with everyone. I want to thank the panel for voting and the team involved in BBC Music Sound Of 2018.”
Pale Waves took fifth place in the poll, with American singer-songwriter Khalid coming in fourth, urban jazz act IAMDDB taking third place and British indie singer-songwriter Rex Orange County placing second.
