The upcoming artist beat off stiff competition from seven other acts at a live final in Pilton last weekend.
He received a £5,000 talent development prize from PRS for Music Foundation and a slot on a main stage at this year's festival.
The judges awarded second place to Newcastle’s Shields, with Sheffield’s K.O.G. and the Zongo Bridage taking third place. Both acts received a £2,500 talent development prize from the Foundation.
While announcing the winners, Michael Eavis also revealed that all eight finalists would be given a slot somewhere at this year’s festival.
Acts entered this year's competition by supplying a link to one original song on SoundCloud, plus a link to a video of themselves performing live.
Thousands of acts from all musical genres entered the competition. A short list of eight then performed in Pilton in front of a judging panel.
PRS for Music Foundation's support of the Glastonbury Emerging Talent Competition is the result of a longstanding relationship between its main donor PRS for Music and the festival.
