Raye revealed that she burst into tears of joy after learning she had received her first Grammy nomination.

The 27-year-old singer is up for three awards at music’s biggest awards show, earning nominations for Best New Artist, Songwriter of the Year, Non-Classical and Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical.

It was the latest success for Raye, who took home six gongs at the Brit Awards, breaking Blur, Adele and Harry Styles’ record of four wins at the British ceremony.

Sharing a clip on Instagram, Raye was seen getting emotional when she learned over the phone that she had been nominated.

Alongside the video he wrote: ‘God knows everything it takes to get here. ‘This is too much, I can’t stop crying.’

Raye was flooded with well-wishes from her famous followers, including Jade Thirlwall, who wrote: ‘All flowers are angels.’

Mollie King wrote: ‘Sooo deserved Raye!! ‘ Leigh Francis added: ‘Can’t wait to see your acceptance speech! Congratulations! x’

Carol Vorderman wrote: ‘You are extraordinary Raye. As an old bird here, it fills my heart to see how your absolute dedication and courage pays off by the bucketload. Good luck at the Grammys missus x.’

S Club star Jo O’Meara wrote: ‘So well deserved’, while former Pussycat Dolls star Ashley Roberts added: ‘Yes yes yes!’

At this year’s Brits, Raye took home the first gong presented on the night, Song of the Year for her hit song Escapism ft 070 Shake, and soon after took home the R&B Act gong and Best New Artist awards as well.

He later broke down in tears as he brought his beloved grandmother onto the stage while accepting the Album of the Year, Artist of the Year and Songwriter of the Year awards.

It has been nominated seven times – the most awarded to a single artist in a year – but it probably couldn’t have won any more than it did because it was shortlisted for song of the year twice – with Escapism and Prada winning that title.

‘I’m shaking. I really don’t know what to say right now but… thank you. “I’ve always dreamed of singing this,” Raye said as she took the podium to accept the first award of the night.

The emotional star, a former pupil of the BRIT School in Croydon, who picked up the Best New Artist award moments later, told the crowd: ‘I don’t understand what’s really going on at the moment because I don’t understand!’

Raye’s recent success comes after he parted ways with his former label Polydor and released his critically acclaimed debut album My 21st Century Blues as an independent artist. He referenced his new beginning in his Best New Artist Speech.

‘I have to thank my mum, dad and grandmother who are part of my team. Yes grandma! In a way, I feel like a new artist. ‘I released my first song when I was 15, I released my first mixtape when I was 16, don’t go listen to it because it’s not that good anymore.’

‘But I feel like a new artist, I have to start over. The artist I was three years ago couldn’t believe what he saw today. Now I’m my own boss, I’m in control. Thank you!’

It was the latest success for Raye, who took home six gongs at the Brit Awards, beating Blur, Adele and Harry Styles’ record four wins at a British ceremony.

Born in Tooting to a Ghanaian-Swiss mother and an English father, Raye began singing in the church choir.

He was accepted into the Brit School of Performing Arts when he was 14, but left after two years, saying he felt ‘limited’.

She first rose to fame in 2016, at the age of 19, with Jax Jones’ song You Don’t Know Me, peaking at number 3 in the UK singles chart.

However, in 2021, he revealed that his record label, Polydor, had refused to release any of his albums, despite signing him seven years ago.

He said on Twitter: ‘I’ve had a four-album record deal since 2014. And I wasn’t allowed to release a single album.’
