British Breakthrough Nominees Announced

British Breakthrough Act Announced

This year’s British Breakthrough Act nominees include last year’s Critics’ Choice winner, and Mercury Prize 2018 nominee, Jorja Smith, Ella Mai, IDLES, last year’s Critics’ Choice runner up Mabel and Tom Walker.

Jorja Smith wowed at Critics’ Choice in 2018 with her performance of ‘Teenage Fantasy’, and now finds herself in the enviable position of potentially taking home three BRIT Awards at the 2019 ceremony. Fellow nominee Mabel narrowly missed out on the Critics’ Choice Award to Jorja last year.

BRITs newcomers Ella Mai and IDLES also both have the chance to scoop British Breakthrough, making welcome additions to this year’s list of nominees.

Finally, Tom Walker, who is also nominated for British Single for his hit ‘Leave A Light On’, completes the roll call of talent in line for British Breakthrough 2019.
