Brit awards 2024: record-breaking Raye lands seven nominations

Singer scores hard-earned success after a difficult decade in the industry, while British rap is well represented with multiple nominations for Central Cee and J Hus

Raye – AKA 26-year-old Rachel Keen – was first known for a series of charismatic and irrepressible guest vocals on dance tracks such as Jax Jones’s You Don’t Know Me (a Top 3 hit in 2016), while fitfully releasing genre-hopping solo songs with only moderate chart success. Another Scot, Calvin Harris, adds to his 14 nominations (including two wins) at the Brits over the years, with three more in the dance, pop and song categories after one of the biggest hits of 2023, the 90s trance throwback Miracle with Ellie Goulding on vocals.
