Dalton Harris of Jamaica on Sunday emerged winner of the 2018 X-Factor singing competition.
He won the coveted prize over the other two other competitors in the final, the UK's Scarlett Lee and Anthony Russell.
The winner of The X Factor is awarded a £1 million recording contract with Syco Music, in association with Sony Music.
The deal consists of a £150,000 cash advance with the balance covering the costs of recording and marketing.
Dalton Harris is second Jamaican to win an international talent competition after Tessanne Chin.
She won the American competition The Voice in 2013.
Prime Minister Andrew Holness was among those who immediately commended the Jamaican singer, doing so via Twitter:
"Congratulations to our Dalton Harris @harrisdalton! Winner of the X-Factor. The entire Jamaica is proud of you. Your phenomenal talent is now unleashed on the world."
Harris, winner of Television Jamaica's Digicel Rising Stars in 2010, was a firm favourite with the fans of the X-Factor competition from the outset.
