The digital age has changed the face of music. It’s changed the way we listen to music and the way we make music. But one of the biggest things it has changed is the way we discover new music. YouTube has launched or improved the careers of a huge number of artists, some that you will have heard of, and some that you are yet to hear about
Lana Del Ray
You’ve probably heard of this sultry songstress. After releasing her first album, she uploaded a video for her song ‘Video Games’ which gained her so much popularity, she was asked to perform on Saturday Night Live. The video now has over 74 million views!
Justin Bieber
So he may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but back in 2007, he was an angelic-faced teen with a pretty sweet voice. After posting clips of himself singing to YouTube, he was spotted by none other than Usher, and was signed up to his label, launching him into fame. Nice one Usher…
Greyson Chance
This talented little guy went viral with his rendition of Lady Gaga’s Paparazzi at his sixth grade festival. The YouTube video caught the attention of TV star Ellen DeGeneres, and Greyson was invited onto her show, and later signed to her label.
YouTube Stars of the Future
So this lot aren’t exactly household names yet, but the way they’re going, it won’t be long…
Hudson Taylor
This Irish duo has been steadily growing in popularity as their YouTube subscribers have shot up to over 20,000. Hopefully they will follow in the footsteps of Gabrielle Aplin, girlfriend of band member Alfie!
Orla Gartland
Ireland is clearly full of musical talent as another Irish musician makes our list! Orla Gartland is best known for filming covers in her little yellow bedroom, but she’s writing plenty of originals that keep her fans very happy!
