UK singer Becky Hill is a pop powerhouse who has forged her own path to stardom. The 27-year-old has become one of Britain’s most successful musicians and the best part is that her success is entirely on her own terms.
Becky Hill burst onto the music scene when she auditioned for The Voice UK at the age of 17. Entering the singing competition may have been Becky’s escape from school, but little did she know that she would make it to the semi-finals, and as the saying goes, the rest is history.
Following her recent win at the 2022 BRIT Awards, IOL Entertainment caught up with Becky to find out more about the singer songwriter, who is making waves in dance music.
Winning a BRIT Award is a huge achievement after all it was one of the best ways that British and international talent is recognised. Becky says that winning the award for British Dance Act is the “biggest moment” of her life. It meant the world to me, it was powered by the fans. All my fans had to vote like everyday to get me to win it.
“It meant the world really to see people coming out and supporting me like that. To be recognised as a female in dance music is really tough, so it’s nice to finally feel seen,” she shared. Getting this accolade is certainly something Becky won’t be doing any time soon. There was so much excitement around winning the prestigious award that Becky even broke her trophy.
Now, breaking her BRIT Award was certainly not a part of the plan, but these things happen. Recalling the moment, Becky shamelessly admitted that she is quite the clumsy person and that, mixed with a bit of excitement, resulted in her award breaking.
“I’m the most clumsy person you’ll ever meet. So I was in the 02 Arena and I saw an artist I was really a big fan of, called Self Esteem. And I heard that she wanted to meet me and I never thought she would like somebody like me, I don’t know why. Then I saw her.
