Who won British Male Solo Artist at the 2018 Brit Awards? Stormzy won the award.

Stormzy received the 2018 Brit Award for British Male Solo Artist at the ceremony held at London’s O2 Arena. The win capped a landmark period for the South London grime artist, whose debut studio album, Gang Signs & Prayer, had made him one of Britain’s most prominent new performers.

He also won British Album of the Year that night, making him one of the ceremony’s major winners. His success reflected grime’s growing presence in the British mainstream, blending rap, gospel, R&B, and sharply personal writing.

The award was not Stormzy’s first Brit recognition. In 2017, he won British Breakthrough Act and the Critics’ Choice award. His 2018 album win was especially significant because Gang Signs & Prayer became the first rap album to win British Album of the Year. Stormzy later won British Male Solo Artist again at the 2020 ceremony.
