Song-writer, Singer , Award winner Sande honoured at Brits

Singer-songwriter Emeli Sande, the voice of the London Olympics, continued her rise to superstardom by winning two of the most prestigious Brit Awards at a ceremony in London on Wednesday.

The Scottish soul singer, who introduced herself to the world with performances at the London 2012 opening and closing ceremonies, walked away with the main prize of best album for “Our Version Of Events”.

Accepting the award, Sande said the recognition had made her “feel incredible and not so lonely.

“Thanks to everybody who let me make the album I wanted to make,” she added. “This is a dream really.”

She also claimed the best British female solo artist award during Wednesday’s ceremony at the O2 Arena.

Tragic singer Amy Winehouse had been in line to receive the prize posthumously, but it was Sande who capped off a tumultuous start to her career by claiming the gong at the biggest night in Britain’s music calendar.
