The indisputable rise and rise of Ms Dynamite continued last night when her debut album ‘A Little Deeper’ was awarded the Mercury Music prize, beating favourites The Streets and The Coral, and music legend David Bowie. The star enjoys a £20,000 prize as the winner as well as a guaranteed increase in mainstream interest and record sales. Initially speechless at winning the trophy she later told journalists: "I feel really happy and excited that my music has been acclaimed and accepted." Ms Dynamite, real name Naomi McLean-Daley, is expected to have another night of glory at next month’s Mobo awards where she has six nominations.
