Smith dedicated his awards to his fans, saying: "This is truly a dream come true. It feels amazing. I hardly ever win awards and I never got awards in school for anything so it is really surreal for me to have [all these] in one day."
The singer also explained: "I can always find a reason to be sad in life. I think honest songs make the best songs, and whether they are sad or happy, they have just got to be relatable."
