LIMERICK rapper Denise Chaila said she was ‘in bits’ after winning the Music Moves Europe Award in an online ceremony.
She also brings home €10,000 and the chance to further her career internationally by attending a training day at ESNS (Eurosonic Noorderslag).
I won a Music Moves Europe Award for Ireland tonight!!!
Proud to report I’m in bits 😊
I’m always shocked when anyone knows me at home, let alone out of Ireland, so this is crazy💚 I won a European award. Wow. I dunno who exactly to thank, but thank you. So much. xxx pic.twitter.com/H0Nrz3R3GL
