Pop star and Kent resident Mimi Webb is taking over kmfm this weekend ahead of the BRIT Awards.
The singer who grew up in Canterbury will host her very own radio show on Saturday evening, playing BRIT Award nominated artists and big Saturday night tunes.
Mimi is nominated for 'Best New Artist' at the ceremony at The O2 Arena in London, which for the first time is being held on a Saturday evening.
It means she will be hosting the warm up show just hours before she finds out if she is a winner.
During her show, the 22-year-old will be chatting about her new album "Amelia", which is out Friday, March 3, touring, her favourite night out in her home city, and who she is looking forward to seeing at the awards.
Mimi has also been on kmfm Breakfast with Garry and Chelsea recently where she revealed how she will react should she win a BRIT.
She said: "I've thought about this in my head and rewound it so many times.
"I think I'm going to sit there and take it, I'm going to be excited for everyone.
"I'm going to really take it in, breathe, and whatever happens, keep smiling."
When speaking about her nomination, she added: "I'm so excited I can't believe it, it is something I've dreamt of for so many years.
"Me and my family would always sit in Kent, back home, watching it every year, so being able to go this year, and attend as a nominee, is just mind blowing."
Mimi is known for her singles "Before I Go", "Good Without" and "House on Fire".
Her latest single "Red Flags" was released the day after she received her BRIT nomination.
kmfm's BRITs Warm Up Party with Mimi Webb is on Saturday, February 11, from 5pm to 7pm.
The BRIT Awards on ITV will begin at 8pm.
