Brit Award for British Male Solo Artist

The Brit Award for British Male Solo Artist was an award given by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), an organisation which represents record companies and artists in the United Kingdom. The accolade was presented at the Brit Awards, an annual celebration of British and international music. The winners and nominees were determined by the Brit Awards voting academy with over one-thousand members, which comprised record labels, publishers, managers, agents, media, and previous winners and nominees. The award was first presented in 1977.
