The 2019 Mercury Music Prize has been won by a man who goes by the name of just Dave, for his album Psychodrama. 

 

He’s actually called David Orobosa Omoregie and he’s only 21, and along with a trophy he gets a cheque for a cool twenty five grand and the privilege of being on a list of ‘some hits, some never heard of again’, so there’s still all to do Dave.

 

Here’s some of what he said: “I want to firstly thank God. I want to invite my mum up onto stage…I want to thank everyone that made this happen, I want to thank all of the exceptional musicians who performed tonight…I respect you all so highly”. Also thanks to “my mum, my family, my friends.”
