Nia Archives named artist of the year at Northern Music Awards
Other winners included rising singer Luvcat and Liverpool band The Zutons.
Nia Archives has been named artist of the year at the Nordoff and Robbins Northern Music Awards held in Liverpool.
The 25-year-old Leeds-born singer, producer and DJ received her gong at the second year of the event from YouTube star Charity Shop Sue, after releasing her debut album Silence Is Loud in April 2024.
The jungle artist said: “It’s so amazing to make music in your bed or in your house and then see young people and old people resonating with the music, singing and dancing.”
Rising singer Luvcat received the breakthrough award from The Verve’s Simon Jones, following a year which saw her release her first single Matador and support The Last Dinner Party on tour, after making her name with a number of gigs at Brixton’s The Windmill pub.
