I love finding new and upcoming music to share with you all. It's been a while since my last 'one's to watch' post so I think it's time for an updated version. There are some singers and bands that I really love like Lizzo, Lewis Capaldi and Lauv but it's safe to say that they're well established now.
The musicians that I'm bringing to the forefront are all relatively small, not many people have heard of them but they definitely should be. These bands and artists deserve so much support and have the potential to be huge.
K-POP has risen to heights that are unimaginable, piano ballads have been tugged back into the public interest and there's a need for more women in the music industry. That's what these one's to watch are all about. There's an all round mix of people and bands in this list that are all deserving.
Wetter | In Association
South Korean band, Wetter, are on the rise following their UK tour. The band have a high energy rock n' roll vibe going on, in attempt to make people get up and dance. The band have conquered Korea's festival scene and now are here to take the rest of the world by storm.
YEBBA
YEBBA (Abbey spelt backwards) is an American singer/songwriter and has just released a song with Mark Ronson. She has also previously worked with the likes of Sam Smith, John Legend and Chance the Rapper. Adele - watch out, YEBBA has some alluring vocals that we'll be hearing much more of soon.
WOOZE | In Association
WOOZE are a an electro-pop duo from Korea and London. The pair have been touring the UK at festivals like Live At Leeds, Sound City and The Great Escape. They've even performed on a boat for their EP launch - I bet that was an experience! WOOZE have a strangely enticing sound that you'll either love or hate. I love it!
YONAKA

YONAKA are a four piece band from Brighton and have recently released their single Don't Wait 'Til Tomorrow ahead of their album release. The song is for those struggling and feeling low, sending the message that they are not alone. The band are already well established but they're aiming even bigger and will be grabbing everyone's attention this year with their album.
GRACEY
This breakout singer/songwriter has just released her new single, If You Loved Me. GRACEY is conveying raw emotion through her music. Only recently releasing music, GRACEY has been writing for artists like Jonas Blue (she write his hit single, By Your Side at the age of 18!).
Be Charlotte
Personality is sewed into Be Charlotte's music as for her, music is all about meaning. The Scottish singer hopes that her songs make others feel stronger within themselves rather than seeking validation from others. She has some amazing vocals on her, her accent shines through in her singing as well, it's endearing because it doesn't happen very often (you wouldn't be able to tell Lewis Capaldi was Scottish through his music alone).
Kyan & nicopop | In Association
I featured Kyan & nicopop a little while ago and I fully believe that they have the potential to be huge. Their sound is great and gives me bright and sunny vibes - they are a duo that I'll be playing throughout summer with their EP on the way.
Who are you looking forward to seeing grow in the music industry this year?
