00:00We now have the absolute honour of presenting the next award for the Crossover Artist of the Year.

00:05The incredible woman receiving this award today is a singer-songwriter, pianist, cellist, jazz lover

00:11and true artist. She is a boundary breaker. She combines her passion for jazz music and her

00:17classical studies to a fusion of beautiful, warm musical creations which are loved by Gen Z

00:24and loved by the dads and loved by the grandmas. Last year she made history with her album Bewitched

00:31which became the first album in history to debut at number one on both Billboard's jazz chart and

00:36the traditional jazz chart. She sold out the bloody Hollywood Bowl, she sings with orchestras

00:43and she's been on the road for the last two years performing sold-out shows to thousands of people

00:47all over the world with her jazz pop classical fusions. I'm both inspired by her and so grateful

00:52for the future of music that she exists.
