I've always preferred music over television. I rarely ever turn on the TV, however I always have music playing. My go-to is Pandora or Soundcloud, and over the years this is where I find new artists and songs. Below are a few artists I started following because I heard one good song online, and now I'm hooked.
1. Gnash
You've probably heard his collab with Olivia O'Brien, I Hate You I Love You. If you liked that, you should definitely check out his other stuff. He's also on tour right now, so snag tickets while you can https://www.gnash.ushere.
2. Blackbear
You know when you hear a song you've never listened to before, but the lyrics truly speak to the situation you are currently in? Yeah, that's Blackbear. I first heard idfc right when I needed to.
3. Pouya
I have been following him on Snapchat, before it got hacked, and Twitter and I fell in love with his personality first. He is very real, and every video from his shows seem so fun.
4. Jon Bellion
I heard Maybe IDK and absolutely fell in love with every lyric of the song. After hearing that I dug deeper and to this day I still have not found one bad song by him.
5. Kodaline
I have always loved this band. Their sound is the type I put on while it's raining and I'm lying in bed avoiding responsibilities, and wanting to take a nap.
6. Sleeping At Last
Being a dancer, I have heard so much from them. Their songs have so much emotion behind them, even when not watching a performance. Listening to Sleeping At Last with headphones in will have you feeling some type of way.
7. Kasey Musgraves
All of you country music hating kids need to simmer down and listen to Kasey Musgraves. This girl is so raw and so real and so simple. She is so sweet and innocent, how can you not like her and what she stands for?
8. PARTYNEXTDOOR
This guy got some fame when his video for Come and See Me came out starring Kylie Jenner. His sound releases a very chill vibe.
