The winner of MTV Brand New presented by Emporio Armani Diamonds has been announced today as Anne-Marie! She has been a favourite to win throughout the campaign and smashed all voting records with the highest number of votes in the history of the competition.

This announcement comes after two incredible nights of unique live showcases at the Electric Ballroom in Camden, London, last week. Anne-Marie supported garage superstar Craig David as he brought his TS5 set to the Ballroom with Big Narstie. Fellow MTV Brand New shortlist act WSTRN, who Craig has recently been in the studio with, completed an incredible line up for the first night. Anne-Marie said:
I'm speechless! I am so happy to have won MTV Brand New with Emporio Armani Diamonds! I've had all of my friends and family voting so sending a huge thank you to everyone who did! It was a dream come true to perform ahead of Craig David last week, he's absolutely amazing and what a show with all of the classics. Thank you so much MTV, this is incredible!

In previous years, the MTV Brand New shortlist has revealed the biggest breakthrough acts of the year, such as Adele, Tinie Tempah, Jessie J, James Bay, Years and Years, The Vamps, Krept & Konan, George Ezra, Sam Smith and Ella Eyre.

This year has been no exception for MTV Brand New and Emporio Armani Diamonds for their impeccable track record of scouting out the biggest acts to come for the year ahead.

Tune in to MTV Music from 9pm on February 12th to relive the magic of both nights.
