‘Prada’ hitmaker RAYE made history when she scooped a record-breaking six prizes at the BRIT Awards 2024 with Mastercard last month.

The singer nabbed Album of the Year for ‘My 21st Century Blues’, Song of the Year for ‘Escapism’, was named Best R’n’B Act, Best New Artist, Artist of the Year and also became the first female artist to win Songwriter of the Year.

RAYE’s huge haul smashed a record previously held by Blur, Adele and Harry Styles – all of whom had collected four gongs in a single ceremony.
