She describes her sound as " cheeky, British pop" and is known for her tracks Friendly Sex, Why Can't I have Two? and Pretty Boys which have earnt her role-model status for self-confidence and female empowerment.

Up against Caity are The Last Dinner Party - a five-piece indie group from London.
They released their debut single Nothing Matters in April which has been streamed More Than 13 million times on Spotify.
Their first album Prelude To Ecstasy comes out in February and they've already been named As One of.

The Final nominee is Sekou - a singer-songwriter from Ashby-de-la-Zouch in Leicestershire who started posting soulful covers online at the Age Of 16.
He says he draws inspiration from the likes of Whitney Houston , Stevie Wonder and Beyoncé, as well as Gospel Music , which he came To Love through his church roots.
The 19-year-old first performed his breakout track Better Man at Glastonbury in 2022 in The Bbc Introducing tent.
Sekou says his nomination is " absolutely crazy" adding: " I'm so grateful to be considered for this. For me, this feels like God telling me to continue to work harder and keep pushing. "
" I remember being 10 Years old when Adele sang Someone Like You for the First Time and being like 'that's going to be me One Day '. "
The Rising Star shortlist is chosen by a panel of industry experts including music editors, critics, songwriters and producers.
The award winner will be announced on 7 December ahead of the 2024 Brit Awards on 2 March.
