Artists To Know: Raury

Raury, 19, is a rising Atlanta artist. Within the last couple of years there’s been a lot of buzz about him. He’s received a lot of attention, including this in depth post on Buzzfeed. He released his first mixtape, Indigo Child, in August 2014. That same year he also signed with Columbia Records. Check out a few of his songs below. If you’ve got the time, take a look at this video. Sway questions whether Raury will be one of many future faces of hip hop. He freestyles and talks a bit about good and evil in the music. Share your thoughts below. For more check him out on YouTube, Soundcloud, and other WordPress blogs. Know an artist that’s up and coming? Send suggestions to gumblogging@gmail.com. G.U.M Team

Artists To Know: Connie Talbot

At the age of three Connie gained recognition on the show Britain’s Got Talent. Now at the age of 14 she’s sharing her talent on YouTube. She has quite a following and for good reason. Her talent speaks for itself. Her young age makes her a risk that many record companies wouldn’t be willing to take, except maybe the Disney Music Group, but it’s only a matter of time before someone signs Connie Talbot. She’s done quite a few covers, Sam Smith’s Stay with Me being one of my favorites, as well as her single Gravity. Take a second and give it a listen. Like what you hear?
