Nathan Dawe has been officially crowned our MTV PUSH UK & IRE 2021 winner!

Securing the title with 42K votes on Instagram, Nathan becomes the first DJ ever to come out on top of one of our annual lists, beating competition from fellow nominees 220 KID, Alfie Templeman, Arlo Parks, AWA, Bree Runway, Claudia Valentina, Griff, Inhaler and Pa Salieu.

On his win he said: “Yo, it’s Nathan Dawe thank you so much for all your votes, it’s been amazing to see so much support. I can’t believe I’ve won MTV PUSH UK & IRE 2021! I just want to say a massive thank you to, obviously, all the fans that voted, I’ve collabed with a lot of big artists last year and this year so all the support from everywhere has not gone unnoticed.”

The win rounds off an impressive start to the year for Nathan who just the other day received his second platinum certification for ‘Lighter’ and on Friday cracked the Official UK Singles Chart Top 20 with his Little Mix collab ‘No Time For Tears’.

Nathan now joins an exclusive club of previous MTV PUSH and MTV Brand New winners including YUNGBLUD, Lewis Capaldi, Mabel, AJ Tracey, Anne-Marie, Krept & Konan and more…

We’d like to extend a huge thanks to everyone who voted and, of course, all this year’s nominees, who no doubt are all going to smash it in the years to come.

See you next year!
