In a dazzling eruption of camera flashes and the buzz of excitement, the Icelandic sensation Sigrún made a breathtaking entrance onto the red carpet at the Universal Music Awards. A year ago, her name was unknown, but tonight, she stood poised and radiant, a nominee for Album of the Year with her haunting opus "We were born in our homes and we'll die here."

Shaping her music around Iceland's folklore and the harsh, deadly winters that define the island's character, Sigrún's album soared to the top of the charts, resonating with listeners worldwide. The ethereal melodies and evocative lyrics had captivated hearts, earning her not only a coveted nomination but also a place as a formidable contender for the night's most prestigious prizes.

Her debu single "Banished" had become a hit, and Sigrún found herself nominated not only for Best Song but also for Artist of the Year, Best New Artist, and Female Artist of the Year. The transformation from an unknown talent to a multi-category nominee was a proof her undeniable artistry and the alchemy of her unique voice and genre-defying fusion.



A year ago, Sigrún's journey began when she successfully navigated the auditions for the UK label Head South. In spite of her meteoric rise she may not have been the odds-on favorite for every awards, but the mere presence of this new face in the limelight was an announcement to the world that a star had truly been born.

Amidst the dazzling lights and the excited chatter of the red carpet at the Universal Music Awards, Cerys Nyland emerged on the red carpet. Hailing from Seaford, she is nominated for Album of the Year with her chart-topping masterpiece, "Shenanigans," a blues punk exploration delving into the depths of Desire.


As the crowd buzzed with anticipation, Cerys stood as a nominee not only for Album of the Year but also for Best Song with her track "Burn the Saints.", Artist of the Year, Best New Artist, and Female Artist of the Year.

Beyond her individual achievements, Cerys Nyland showcased her entrepreneurial spirit, having founded her own record label, "Head South," a nominee for Best Label, alongside her longtime friend Mark Thompson.

Cerys Nyland's journey into the limelight began with a bang at the Bring The Heat festival, where her opening performance captivated the audience and set the stage for her meteoric rise.

Tonight, the Universal Music Awards will undoubtedly witness the continued ascent of a true musical talent..
