Sigrid has topped this year’d BBC Sound of 2018 poll.
The Norwegian pop sensation joins previous winners Jack Garratt, Years & Years, Sam Smith, Adele, Ellie Goulding, Jessie J and 2017 victor Ray BLK.
Speaking to the BBC, Sigrid 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.”
