A few people to keep an eye on, because hey, if anyone does read this and I do influence at least one person out of 7 billion, I'd like to point them in a good musical direction.
No.1 Hobbie Stuart - A friend of mine came across him whilst traipsing through Youtube for good covers about two, maybe three years ago. He's very talented in my opinion and he does seem to be making some serious ground with his followers and views on the up 'n' up. One of my favourite covers of his is 'Fast car' by Tracy Chapman...

If you like his voice subscribe to his Youtube channel, he's uploading new songs pretty regularly and has some awesome songs of his own too.
No.2 Amity Ray - I may have spelt their name wrong, it is potentially Amnity Ray, I absolutely cannot remember to be honest. But what I can tell you true is that they are a new girl band, which isn't normally my kind of thing at all (although I am the first to admit that I do find myself singing along to disturbingly catching songs like 'DNA' by Little Mix, I hate myself but what can you do?!) and their are 4/5 members between the ages of 18 and 24, their first single will be released in July and they have already been signed up to tour with famous faces such as Pixie Lott. Now I can't speak for the whole group as I haven't heard their music yet, but I can talk about their lead girl, Sophie Goodwin. I haven't known her personally for a fair while, but I can say with great confidence that she is genuinely a lovely girl, and shit, she can sing! I first heard her voice whilst playing Playstation Singstar age 13, along side her equally talented younger sister, Priya (who may also be a name to watch by the way). Sophie had a strong voice then so I am very excited to see her perform 8 years on. I managed to find this clip on Youtube, seriously take a look, this is genuine talent...

No.3 Imagine Dragons - Okay, so they are not exactly a secret, in fact you probably know this song for being on the trailer of the new Stephanie Meyer film, 'The Host'...

But I can't get enough of it, or them. I'd say more, but either you'll love this song the way I do, and find it speaks for itself, or I guess you just won't like it.
