Since opening its doors almost 35 years ago, the Brit School, in Croydon, south London, has been a powerhouse for grassroots talent. Rarely is the performing and creative arts school mentioned without a namecheck for its far-reaching alumni, who have collectively amassed more than 280m album sales, billions of streams and countless awards, including Oscars and Grammys. Following in the footsteps of every Adele, Tom Holland and FKA Twigs – all former Brit School students – a new wave of young talent is unleashed each year, looking to make its mark on the creative industries. From screen to stage, design to digital media, who are this year’s ones to watch?
