Speech Debelle wins Mercury Prize
Last night's Mercury Music Prize saw rising star Speech Debelle pick up the prestigious award for her album 'Speech Therapy'.
Speaking about her win Speech told journalists that 'if you believe in something and you think you can do it, you can.'
Beating other nominees including La Roux, Florence and the Machine and Bat For Lashes, Speech Debelle is the first female winner since Ms Dynamite's victory in 2002.
Speech performed at our first 'Almost Famous' showcase back in June. View the video from that evening.
