Last night (Tuesday 11th May) we celebrated the biggest night of British music at The BRIT Awards 2021 with Mastercard and spoke to BRIT nominee Joel Corry!

Joel admitted that he was so happy with his BRITs nomination, he said: "I've been on cloud nine since I found out about these nominations, because I never thought that I would ever get nominated for a BRIT."

The 31-year-old added: "I literally feel like I've already won just being nominated, so yeah, bring on tonight!"

On the red carpet, Joel was dressed head to toe in a designer suit, very different to his usual causal outfits! He added: "It's not my usual attire is it? With the shirt. I'm wearing a Dolce and Gabbana suit tonight, tailored!" Ooh la la!

After releasing hits like 'Head & Heart', 'Sorry' and 'Lonely' within the last 12 months, Joel bagged himself a whopping THREE nominations at this year's ceremony - Male Solo Artist, Breakthrough Artist and British Single with Mastercard.

Joel was joined by a star-studded list of BRIT Award nominees including Dua Lipa, Harry Styles and Little Mix. Singer songwriter RAYE also bagged a nomination for British Single for her track 'Secrets' with Regard, she has previously worked with Joel on the track 'BED', featuring DJ megastar David Guetta.
