The singer, 26, said it was a 'big deal' for her that the Rocket Man hitmaker, 76, reached out and acknowledged her wins
'He wrote me a card and everything. It said I can’t wait to tell you in person what your music means to me'.
Raye also revealed that she has been recognised in public since the wins and while at the dentist in Milton Keynes this week 'every single one of them said congratulations'.
She added: 'And then I went to a restaurant and they brought out a free tiramisu, and it said congratulations and had a sparkler!'
Raye went on to discuss how her grandmother Agatha, 74, who joined her on stage at the BRITs as she collected her Album Of The Year award is her biggest inspiration.
The singer was 'raised' by her grandmother after she moved over from Ghana to look after her while her parents worked full time job.
Raye continued: 'I was ugly crying! That woman is just, I couldn't owe her more, she sacrificed everything for me so to be able to bring her up on stage at that moment she knew what my dreams meant to me too…I'll never forget that moment.'
The star went on to say she was very 'overwhelmed' after her wins and celebrated by partying until 6am.
She said: 'To be honest I was so overwhelmed that I was ready to jump straight into bed, so it was either go straight to bed or go hard, do you know what I mean? So we went with that option.'
