Carly Rae Jepsen's been named the year's Rising Star by Billboard

  • October 25, 2012
  • Brad O'Mance

Rejoice, Carly Rae Jepsen's been named Billboard's Rising Star of 2012.

The award will be presented to the 'Guitar String / Wedding Ring' chanteuse at the Billboard Women in Music event on November 30. The event will be in New York, geography fans.

Katy Perry will also be there as she's getting their Woman of the Year thing, so that will be a nice evening out.

Jeppo had this to say about it all: "As a singer-song­writer having grown up listening to and being influ­enced by countless female artists, I am truly honored to be recog­nized by Billboard with this award."

"I hope to inspire others through my music the way those artists have inspired me."

So humble.
