James Reid is this year's winner as the Best Southeast Asia Act in the 2017 MTV Europe Music Awards. He was previously nominated in 2015 for his album 'Reid Alert', but lost out to China's Jane Zhang. Reid joins the likes of Canadian singer-songwriter Shawn Mendes, pop singer Dua Lipa, British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran, who just kicked off his Asian tour this weekend, and EDM duo The Chainsmokers in this year's list of MTV EMA winners. 

The awards show will be broadcasted live on MTV Asia on November 13, Monday at 3 AM (Philippine Standard Time) or online via MTVEMA.com. Here are more ways to watch this year's MTV EMAs.

The actor/singer was up against Indonesia's Isyana Sarasvati, Malaysia's Faizal Tahir, Singapore's The Sam Willows, Thailand's Slot Machine, Vietnam's Dam Vinh Hung, and Social Wildcard Winner -  Thai singer Palitchoke Ayanaputra.

Sarah Geronimo won the award in 2014, making Reid and Geronimo the only two Filipinos who have won the award. 

The pop singer released his album, Palm Dreams, earlier this year to favorable reviews. (We gave it 7/10. Check out our review here.)
