Although details about his debut studio effort are still scarce, the vocalist teased that fans "can definitely expect the music to get darker. The past year has been really chaotic and I feel like my album absolutely represents how chaotic it was. Also, I think they can expect a good cry and a good little riot," he said in a recent interview.

When asked about her musical influences, Celeste cites soul icons such as Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald and Aretha Franklin.

The 22-year-old musician might have big shoes to fill but she has already caught the attention of British singer Lily Allen, who signed her to her Bank Holiday Records label.

Since, Celeste has notably collaborated with SBTRKT collaborator Tev'n and renowned London-based producer J.D. Reid for her 2016 "Daydreaming."

The nostalgic number, which she wrote while working in a Brighton pub, was quickly followed by the singles "Both Sides of the Moon," "Lately," "Father's Son" and most recently "Strange."

While her long-awaited debut album is still in the works, Celeste will soon tour Europe with fellow British musician Michael Kiwanuka as his support act.

Before he took the rapper-moniker "Guaynaa," 27-year-old Puerto Rican native Jean Carlos Santiago had tried his hand at baseball and horse racing, and even considered chemical engineering.

But the devastation caused by tropical hurricane Maria in his homeland prompted Guaynaa to release the subversive rap "Maria," which currently boasts more than 1 million views on YouTube.

However, it was his cheeky "ReBoTa" that made him a household name in the urbano scene, collecting over 300 million views on YouTube and catching the attention of fellow Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny.

In recent months, Guaynaa has collaborated with Becky G, Farruko, Nicky Jam and Sech on a remix of his reggaeton hit, and released the singles "Buyaka" and "Chicharrón."

The rapper is currently working with producer Visitante on his debut album, in which he wants to explore styles beyond Latinx music.

A few years ago, Layton Greene had left aside her dreams of a musical career to work late nights at Wingstop and Walmart, discouraged by a previous unsuccessful audition for "The X Factor."

Then, she shared a cover of Kodak Black's "Roll in Peace" that instantly went viral on Instagram and Twitter.

To capitalise on her newly acquired social following, the 20-year-old musician collaborated with producer Gawvi to release a full version of the remix, which racked up more than 3.5 million streams and propelled her name onto the Billboard Hot R&B Songs chart.

It changed everything for the Illinois native.

Her first original single "Myself," which found similar success online, caught the attention of major record labels including Atlanta hip-hop empire Quality Control.

Last February, Greene became the first R&B artist ever signed by the label, whose signees include Migos, Lil Yachty and Lil Baby.

Not too long after joining the Quality Control roster, Greene unveiled her debut EP, "Tell Ya Story," in which she tackles topics drawn on her own life such as heartbreak and racism.
