Who is hosting the 2024 BRIT Awards?
Who is hosting the 2024 BRIT Awards? The BRITs announced that Clara Amfo, Maya Jama, and Roman Kemp are hosting this year’s ceremony. The three broadcasters have been “at the helm of some of the UK’s best-loved and biggest TV and Radio shows, have interviewed the biggest names in music and entertainment, as well as being at the fore of British popular culture,” according to the award show. The trio hosted the BRITs’ Red Carpet show for ITV2 last year and will now head the main event.
“Hosting The BRITs is a bucket list job, I’m so very honoured and excited for this year’s show. Throughout my career, I’ve been so lucky to witness the growth of this year’s nominees and performers and I know it’s gonna be another special one. I can’t wait to hit the stage with Maya and Roman to celebrate these amazing artists at The O2!” Clara said.
Maya added: “I’m really excited to be hosting The BRIT Awards alongside Clara and Roman. I’ve worked alongside the incredible team at the BRITs for years now and it’s something I always watched, and wanted to be a part of, growing up – so it’s amazing to be on the stage this year hosting it! It’s always one of the best nights of the year for me, and a real celebration of British music, culture, and talent.”
“This is a real pinch me moment! Hosting the BRIT Awards – what an honour. I remember watching the BRITs on TV when I was growing up so to be asked to host this year’s awards, is a dream come true. It’s going to be a privilege to share the stage with so many talented artists and to celebrate the incredible achievements of all the nominees and winners this year. See you there.” Roman said of the hosting gig.
Who is nominated for the 2024 BRIT Awards?
Who is nominated for the 2024 BRIT Awards? RAYE leads the way with seven nominations (the first by any artist since the award show began in 1977). The 26-year-old singer-songwriter is a contender for Artist of the Year, Mastercard Album of the Year, Best New Artist, Pop Act, and R&B Act, and received two nominations for Song of the Year with Mastercard. Meanwhile, British rappers Central Cee and J Hus are tied for the second most nods with four each.
For 2024, the BRITs also increased the number of nominees for both Artist of the Year and International Artist of the Year from five to ten to improve presentation and inclusion among its nominees. Other artists nominated this year include SZA, Dua Lipa, Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift, Lewis Capaldi, and more.
The show also introduced a new genre award category for Best R&B Act. “British music is special, the secret ingredient is its rich diversity of genre bending sounds created by the most eclectic artists of all backgrounds,” said BPI Chair YolanDa Brown OBE DL in an interview with DIY Magazine. “It was this that prompted The BRIT Awards to introduce genre-based awards in 2022, and we are delighted to continue this with the addition of a new standalone R&B category to join the four other genres that we will celebrate in 2024. Our best wishes to all the artists who are eligible.”
