Mabel has won the BRIT Award for Female Solo Artist – and during her speech she thanked her famous parents.
Taking place this evening at The O2 (February 18), the ‘Bad Behaviour’ singer opened the ceremony with a performance of her song ‘Don’t Call Me Up’ before winning her award.
During her acceptance speech, she thanked her parents, singer Neneh Cherry and producer Cameron McVey, who aside from producing Cherry’s music also had a huge hand in Massive Attack’s classic ‘Blue Lines’ album.

Mabel’s win comes 30 years after Cherry took home two BRIT Awards of her own. In 1990, she won International Solo Artist and International Breakthrough Act following the release of her 1989 debut album, ‘Raw Like Sushi’.
