SPOTLIGHT: 10 Under 10
Hidden gems - 10 artists with under 10k monthly listeners that you should know.
Hello readers!
10 Under 10 is a bi-weekly playlist I curate that spotlights some fantastic bands I come across as I dig through new releases. Typically, my criteria for artists to make this list includes:
I’ve listened to and enjoyed multiple tracks by this artist
At the time of posting, they have under 10k monthly listeners on Spotify
Per my usual recommendations, these artists span across a variety of rock, pop, and indie genres, come from across the globe, and can range anywhere from newly emerged to slow but steady when it comes to their musical lifespan.
In the end, my goal is always to spread some love for the bands and artists that I think deserve some more ears, and I hope you can spare about half an hour to hopefully discover a new artist.
