"If that was to happen I would be over the moon," Tinie continued. "The first time it was such a life-changing moment for me that I couldn't even imagine what I'd feel like if it happened again."
Hotly tipped fresh artist John Newman was similarly excited about the possibility of a nod for one of his singles or newly released debut album 'Tribute'.
John Newman responds to BRIT Award possibility for 2014...
"I mean, we were nominated with Rudimental for Best Single last year and that was enough for me, I could walk away happy now, but I can't because I'm too much of a perfectionist," he exclusively told Kevin. "It would be lovely to see nominations, but I'm not going to get too big for my boots.
Meanwhile, will.i.am had a funny response to how he would feel to be nominated, telling Capital: "If I got a BRIT nomination I'm officially moving to the UK! Forget the States, I'm here all the time!"
