Michael Kiwanuka has won the 2020 Mercury Prize with his self-titled third album. The singer-songwriter has taken home the award for the first time after being nominated on two occasions.

The 33-year-old’s latest album, titled Kiwanuka, reached number two in the charts after it was released in November 2019 to rave reviews.

Kiwanuka was announced as the winner of the award, which recognises the best British album of the year, live on the BBC’s The One Show.
