SONAR #6
Where words fail, music speaks.
Remember Orrage from SONAR #2? Since we highlighted him a month ago, the rising singer almost doubled his Spotify listener base while his followers & playlist placement grew by ~50%.
Overall, 74% of artists we selected 4 weeks ago hit the levels of growth we expected. Not bad eh? I mean, no credit taken (we didn’t do much), but this speaks to our ability to pinpoint future growth in emerging artists. For more details about these top performers, reach out directly.
This week we’re excited to highlight another amazing squad of artists. 5 different languages, 4 continents, bands, solo careers. They’re all incredibly talented and are garnering global engagement from fast-growing audiences.
We strive to produce an eclectic selection given our international footprint (SONAR is read in 22 countries around the world!). However, we also have the capacity to report on specific genres and locations. Hit me up if that’s of interest.
1. Sean Noah Murray
A powerful, choral voice alongside pop and contemporary sounds. The Ireland-born singer & songwriter started releasing music videos on TikTok earlier this year, and he’s grown his listener base by 10x over the past 3 months. Watch out for continued momentum.
2. Sodl
The 20-year-old from Vienna brings the magic of the accordion & electric guitar to poetic music notes. Radio FM4 noticed her back in 2020 and she went on her first solo tour in Sweden about a year ago. Her band is made of 3 other talented musicians.
3. john sam
John creates music that blends soulful, urban elements with a personal, reflective style. He was featured on the Fresh Finds Philippines playlist which got him a lot of playlist placement. His top track “Bumabalik” reached 100K plays within 6 weeks of release.
4. Presley Haile
Texas-born Presley creates unique sounds blending folk and traditional American country. She released her debut album this summer and boasts a number of high-profile collaborations. She also lined up an impressive 150 show dates before the end of the year.
