We all know The Sam Willows, Nathan Hartono, and Gentlebones for their amazing music and heartfelt lyrics, but there’s more to Singapore’s music scene you may not have discovered that may surprise you. Here are some rising home grown artists you should keep your eyes peeled for. We assure you, they’re the next big thing.

Some might say Disco Hue is Singapore’s very own version of CHVRCHES or The Naked and Famous, with their extremely unique blend of indie rock, electronic and funk, it is tough to classify them under one genre. Disco Hue is a fresh mix of electronic dance music with a live setting. Formed in 2011, Disco Hue were faced with challenges and obstacles and had many unexpected turns along the way, however this only made them stronger and better when they finally broke through and had their first solo gig last year in May 2016. Check out their latest single, “I’ll be waiting” and their first single, “Gotta find you”. We assure, you would not be disappointed.

Listen to her first single, “1057”, which was written and produced by her and you will understand why she is in our list of artists to keep your eyes out for. “1057” is a reference to the word “LOST”, it is raw and original, with lyrics many of us can relate to. New York based producer, Lucian, also reached out to the young Singaporean artist for collaboration, the track “Close to you” is now available on Youtube and Spotify. I suggest you give it a listen for an electrifying experience.

This one’s for all the Singaporean males who went through or is currently going through National Service. 19 year old singer-producer who goes by Of Methodist, latest single “Sar 21” is about the army. His unique genre has been described as R&B with hints of trap. He is definitely doing it right, riding on the alternative R&B hype, with his falsetto that is as smooth as butter. If you’re into The Weeknd, Flume or both, be sure to check him out. He could very well be the next big thing, of course, after he completes his National Service duties.
