The south London-born artist has been courted as a collaborator by a range of US A-listers including Drake, Kendrick Lamar, Kanye West and Solange, while releasing solo material – his debut album Process won the Mercury prize in 2017. Pemberton is nominated in two composing categories: best original film score for Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, and best television soundtrack for the third season of Slow Horses, the latter shared with producer-composer duo Toydrum, AKA Pablo Clements and James Griffith. Nominees for most performed work, acknowledging commercial success, are Harry Styles (As It Was, also last year’s winner), PinkPantheress and Ice Spice (Boy’s a Liar), Jazzy (Giving Me), Central Cee & Dave (Sprinter) and Kenya Grace (Strangers).
