We hear the same old artists each time when we turn on the radio. It's time we change things up a bit. Here is a list of new and upcoming singers that have great music that is worth the change and attention.

1. Troye Sivan

Troye is an Australian singer-songwriter who started off by making videos on YouTube. In 2014, he released an EP titled "TRXYE," which had the popular song "Happy Little Pill." A year later, Troye released his debut album "Blue Neighborhood" which featured hit songs like "Youth" and "Wild" that are dominating the charts.

2. Marina and the Diamonds

Marina is a Welsh singer-songwriter who has hit songs like "Primadonna" and "How to Be a Heartbreaker." You can find any song to fit your mood on her albums "Electra Heart," "The Family Jewels" or "Froot." Fun Fact: The Diamonds aren't her band but actually represent her fanbase!

3. Conrad Sewell

Conrad Ignatius Mario Maximilian Sewell, but better known as Conrad Sewell, is a singer from Brisbane, Australia. He has very soulful ballads which you can really hear in songs like "Start Again" and "Hold Me Up." Fun fact: his sister is "You Don't Own Me" singer Grace. I guess talent just runs in the family.

4. Lolawolf

The group is made up of James Levy, Jimmy Giannopoulos and actress Zoë Kravitz (daughter of Lenny Kravitz). With songs like "AYO" and "Jimmy Franco," the music group has a funky and cool sound. Zoë, the lead singer, has what I can only describe as a chill kind of voice.

5. Shamir

The 21-year-old singer from Las Vegas came on the music scene with the song "On the Regular." Shamir's songs honestly make you want to just get up and dance no matter who's watching.

6. SWMRS

In the early days, the group started off as Emily's Army. As they grew, so did their music style and SWMRS (pronounced Swimmers) came about. The band consists of brothers Cole and Max Becker, Seb Muller and Joey Armstrong (son of Billie Joe Armstrong). The group just recently released their album "Drive North." If you like pop punk you will definitely enjoy SWMRS.

7. Raury

The Georgia singer came onto the music scene when he released his song "God's Whisper." His songs have a great mix of hip-hop and soul and you can tell through songs such as "Devil's Whisper" and "Cigarette Song."

8. With Confidence

This band is made up of Jayden Seeley, Luke Rockets, Inigo Del Carmen and Josh Brozzesi. If you're a fan of bands like All time Low or 5 seconds of Summer, you would sure like With Confidence. Songs like "Keeper" and "Voldemort" leave you feeling good and wanting more.

9. Jazmine Sullivan

You might remember Jazmine from the hit song "Bust Your Windows." Sullivan has such a soulful and strong voice that can put her on top with singers like Beyonce and Jennifer Hudson. Her latest album "Reality Show" came out in 2015 and is packed with great songs like "Let It Burn" and "Masterpiece."

10. Angel Haze

An American rapper from Detroit, she is known for her very "in your face" and raw lyrics. Songs like "A Tribe Called Red" and "Black Dahlia" support that description. She is also very outspoken abut her troubled upbringing, on being raised in a cult and not hearing music until she was in her teenage years.

11. Chloe x Halle

Starting off doing covers on YouTube, Beyonce took notice and put them under her wing. In 2016, they came out with an EP entitled Sugar Symphony. Songs like "Lazy Love," "Drop" and "Thunder" show how these ladies can make it far in the music industry.

12. Kat Dahlia

Dahlia has one rough and raw voice that you can never forget. One of her most notable songs is "Gangsta" which was actually used in a Law and Order SVU episode. Her 2015 album, "My Garden," has excellent songs like "I Think I'm In Love" and "Crazy."

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.
