Myles Smith has been announced as the winner of the prestigious BRITs Rising Star award. He is the first winner to be revealed for The BRITs 2025 and is pictured with the Gabriel Moses-designed award.
Myles Smith said: “Winning the BRIT award for Rising Star is such a surreal moment. Music has always been about connecting with people, and to see it resonate on this level is incredible. I’m so grateful to my team, my family, and especially the fans who’ve supported me every step of the way. Your belief in me means everything. This is just the beginning, and I’m so excited for what’s to come—thank you for being part of this journey.”
The BRITs Rising Star award shortlist is selected by an invited panel of music editors and critics from the national press, online music editors, heads of music at major radio and music TV stations plus songwriters, producers and live bookers – those working with new rising talent on a regular basis.
Myles signed to RCA in December 2023 and has gone on to achieve incredible success internationally this year. He’s achieved 1.4 billion global streams and his Top 5 single Stargazing, which is gold and platinum in 15 markets, was the biggest global single from a British artist this year and has broken records across US Radio. He’s the only British artist to have four new singles enter the UK streaming chart this year and earlier this year, Myles appeared in an exclusive virtual concert on Fortnite Island.
Those who have previously won The BRITs Rising Star award include Adele, Rag’n’Bone Man, Jorja Smith, Sam Smith, Florence + The Machine, Sam Fender and Ellie Goulding.
The BRIT Awards 2025 will take place on Saturday 1st March and will broadcast live on ITV – from The O2 arena.
