He has already notched more than 23 million streams on Spotify with “Lou Lou” reaching #1 on Spotify’s Viral 50 chart in five countries.

He was selected by a jury that included producer Tony Visconti (David Bowie) who sang Albin’s praises in presenting him the award: “Something is pouring out of his heart and soul when he sings.”
