Emeli Sandé says she gave Madonna a copy of her debut album when she met the singer recently.
The Scottish star gave the pop legend her debut CD when they appeared together on BBC1's The Graham Norton Show.
This year Emeli Sandé has already picked up the Brits Critics Choice award.
She explained that this time last year she almost gave up on her music career to return to studying medicine at Glasgow University.
She was speaking to Newsbeat's music reporter Greg Cochrane at MTV's Brand New For 2012 event in London.
Emeli's debut album Our Version Of Events is released on 13 February.
