Watch: Upcoming Sussex Pop musician wins three music awards

The Youth Music Awards took place on Wednesday, 18 October, with the pop singer taking home the gold in three categories. This included the ‘best music video’, ‘rising star’ and ‘live performance’ awards.

Going by the name EVA on all streaming platforms, Eva Lewis is an upcoming producer, songwriter, vocalist and visual artist from Brighton. Her sound is a mixture of house, UK garage, DnB and more.

She works closely with music charity Audio Active and has been involved in music since the age of 15 years old.

Talking about her success in the Youth Music Awards, she said: "I was so shocked to win, I didn’t really prepare myself but it serves as confirmation that the hard work is paying off.

“I’m still very much undiscovered, but I think for my work to be recognised was so important. It’s not easy as an artist, your living and breathing music every day, every time you wake up in the morning and go to sleep. It was nice to have a little pat on the back.”

Youth Music is a national charity funded by National Lottery via Arts Council England, players of People's Postcode Lottery and support from partners and donors.

Their aim is to provide a chance to ‘change a young persons life through music’. Their influence and investment in grassroots organisations means that they are giving more young people up to the age of 25 opportunities to make, learn and earn in music.

In a recent interview, Youth Music CEO Matt Griffiths, said: “The Youth Music Awards provides a platform for the incredibly talented next generation of creatives and leaders emerging from grassroots organisations we invest in across the country."

This year, EVA even had her first play on BBC Radio 1 with her 2023 single 'My One'. This summer, she also played a set at Glastonbury, being a finalist in the festival’s upcoming music competition.

The multi-talented musician has her fifth song coming out at the end of November to round off a rather busy year of music for her.
