The New Year is approaching and we’re looking towards the future! Where better to start than the talents of a select few rising stars who are on our radar for 2022? They’ve been causing a buzz internationally and this is just the beginning… Keep your eyes on these up and coming performers – they’re gonna be huge!
Tems
Nigeria’s hottest new sensation, Tems is a Grammy Award-nominated R&B singer whose music has been championed by huge artists, from Alicia Keys to Chris Brown, Drake to Adele. Her afrobeats-infused hits “Mr. Rebel” and “Try Me” made her a queen of Nigeria’s “alté” scene and that popularity has definitely transferred to overseas, with several of her tracks climbing up the Billboard charts!

Clinton Kane
Viral sensation and self-taught multi-instrumentalist Clinton Kane has gained a huge following through his powerful voice, confessional lyrics, and social media savvy! The internationally popular performer was born in Brunei to Norwegian and Filipino parents, and spent much of his formative years in Australia, and the UK. Perhaps this ability to find a home wherever he travels, coupled with his ability to frankly tackle emotional subjects, is what gives his music such relatable appeal… Whatever it is that gives him his star quality, Kane has it in spades! Catch him on his 2022 tour!

EST Gee
Despite a life recently afflicted by multiple tragedies, EST Gee has managed to become “one of the year’s most exciting new rap stars” (Pitchfork), using his misfortune to propel him into his career and what he believes to be his calling. A Kentucky artist through and through, he brings the Southern state’s unique flavor to his hip-hop. His most recent release, 2021’s Bigger Than Life or Death, hit number 7 on the Billboard 200 and marked the moment when this emerging artist hit the bigtime!

Jawny
West Coast bedroom-pop artist Jawny has been making clever, tongue-in-cheek lo-fi tracks since his early days as Johnny Utah. However, things have blown up recently – his track “Honeypie” (allegedly about ex-girlfriend Doja Cat) went viral on TikTok and has racked up over 180 million streams on Spotify, bringing him a huge new fanbase and millions more streams with his other tracks. Lively and addicting, Jawny is an essential new voice in indie with charisma to match his talent!

Nova Twins
When Rage Against the Machine’s Tom Morello says that you’re “one of my favourite bands” and “an incredible band who deserve to be huge,” you know you’re getting somewhere!

They’ve bagged a feature with Bring Me the Horizon, and several support slots with acts including Prophets of Rage, Wolf Alice, Little Simz, and Skunk Anansie, and with their intense and raw live shows, they’ve proven that they’re more than up to the challenge!
