Singer-Songwriter Myles Smith Wins the BRITs 2025 Rising Star Award
Myles Smith has been announced as the winner of the BRITs Rising Star Award for 2025. He's the first male artist to win the prize since Sam Fender won in 2019.
The award caps off a banner year for the Luton-born singer-songwriter, who saw off competition from soul vocalist Elmiene and indie-pop duo Good Neighbours to claim the accolade. The shortlist is selected by a panel of music industry experts, including editors, critics, songwriters, producers and live bookers. Speaking to Billboard in July, he explained that his main ambition is to be “seen as an album artist,” adding that “there’s only so much you can say in an EP or single.” Smith also discussed the years he spent covering chart hits on TikTok before landing a deal with RCA Records and in turn started penning his own original music.
