Artist and performer Jessie J took four awards at the urban music event, the Mobo Awards, on Wednesday.
Jessie J won awards for ‘best UK act’, ‘best newcomer’, ‘best song’ for ‘Do it Like a Dude’ and ‘best album’ for ‘Who You Are’.
“I just want to say the biggest thank you to my fans because I watched this last year by myself in my living room and no-one knew who I was,” she said.
Jessie J, who opened the awards with ‘Do it Like a Dude’, received the praise of Kanya King, founder of the awards: “Jessie’s opening number - I think people will remember that for a long time to come,” she said.
The ‘best video’ award went to Tinchy Stryder and Dappy for ‘Spaceship’.
Taking place for the second time at the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre in Glasgow, the event was hosted by US star Jason Derulo and singer Alesha Dixon.
