Self Esteem has been crowned BBC Music Introducing Artist Of The Year 2021.
The announcement comes as Rebecca Lucy Taylor readies the release of her second LP, 'Prioritise Pleasure', out this Friday (October 22) via Fiction Records. Singles already shared from the record include Moody, How Can I Help You, I Do This All The Time and the title track. Acknowledging the award, she wrote in a tweet:
"I'm SO CHUFFED. I built Self Esteem from absolutely nothing and BBC Introducing has been fundamental in its growth. I am so overwhelmed and grateful. NEW MUSIC MATTERS. NEW VOICES MATTER. Thank you!!!!"
