You might think that the only artists who have emerged from Spotify are Norwegian tropical house DJs, but Irish singer-songwriter Gavin James is an example of how the platform can bring opportunities to a very different type of artist. Thanks to a strong presence… Continue reading Future Stars: Gavin James (Capitol)

Future Stars: Oliver Nelson (Polydor/Perfect Havoc)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. I first heard of Oliver Nelson, a 26-year-old DJ from Stockholm, when he transformed Kim Cesarion’s initially uninteresting single Undressed into a disco-pop triumph. Although the track wasn’t a big hit, it was Oliver’s first step towards becoming a Soundcloud star. His first viral… Continue reading Future Stars: Oliver Nelson (Polydor/Perfect Havoc)
Future Stars: EDEN (Astralwerks)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. From listening to Irish electro-indie artist EDEN, you’d never guess he was the latest protegée of the team behind Justin Bieber. But in some ways, he weirdly fits the bill – he’s a young, talented male artist with a striking look and a fast-growing… Continue reading Future Stars: EDEN (Astralwerks)

Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. Against The Current is an American pop-rock trio fronted by YouTube star Chrissy Costanza. The 20-year-old singer uploads beauty videos and vlogs to her personal channel, and regularly collaborates with hugely popular YouTubers Alex Goot and Kurt Hugo Schneider.

Future Stars: Tayler Buono (Unsigned)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. Of all the YouTube stars, Tayler Buono isn’t the most popular. Her video for new single Technically Single has only had 20k views in 10 days. But what she has that most YouTubers lack is the potential to be more; to make waves outside of… Continue reading Future Stars: Tayler Buono (Unsigned)

Future Stars: Kungs (Universal France)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. I don’t often choose to feature DJs here, even when they have a massive hit on their hands, because they’re typically quite anonymous and often one hit wonders. However, I’m featuring France’s Kungs (real name Valentin Brunel) for a couple of reasons. Firstly, he’s… Continue reading Future Stars: Kungs (Universal France)
Future Stars: Atom Tree (Unsigned)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. Glasgow probably isn’t the first place you’d think of to look for the next big thing in electro-pop, but maybe it should be. Apart from the obvious recent triumph of Chvrches, they have a track record with acts like Bis and Franz Ferdinand, and… Continue reading Future Stars: Atom Tree (Unsigned)
