“I’m extremely grateful to be nominated for the Rising Star award. If I could put the feeling of being nominated into words, I would say it’s like being completely satisfied with a meal you bought and then finding out it comes with dessert and a drink. Didn’t know it could get any better,” said Elmiene of the honour.

The BRIT Awards 2025 with Mastercard will take place on Saturday 1 March and will broadcast live on ITV1 and ITVX from The O2 arena. The BRITs announced last week that acclaimed British-Nigerian multimedia artist Gabriel Moses has designed the 2025 awards trophy.

The 2025 Rising Star award winner will be announced on Thursday 5 December on BBC Radio 1’s New Music Show with Jack Saunders at 6pm.
