The Songwriter of the Year Award was first introduced in 2022.
With The BRIT Awards 2024 taking place later this week, an early winner has been announced, with RAYE taking home the Songwriter of the Year Award.
This comes after RAYE broke the BRITs record for the highest number of nominations by a single artist in any one year, with nods in seven categories.
The Songwriter of the Year Award was first introduced in 2022, and has previously been won by Ed Sheeran and Kid Harpoon.
RAYE said of her win: "I am so so honoured and blown away, honestly to be given this prestigious award for Songwriter of the Year, it is my very first BRIT award and I will treasure this trophy very much."
She continued: "I am so grateful to be recognised as a songwriter as this is a craft I am so passionate about and have been since I started my journey as a musician, and I’m very grateful to those who voted for me to have this award."
Other award winners to have been announced ahead of the ceremony include Chase & Status, who will take home this year’s Producer of the Year award, The Last Dinner Party, who won this year’s BRITs Rising Star award, and Kylie Minogue, who will be presented with the BRITs Global Icon award on the night.
