Sinéad Harnett, a London-born R&B singer of Thai and Irish descent, emerged onto the music scene through university talent shows, igniting a journey that led to collaborations with renowned producers like Disclosure and Kaytranada. Her 2019 debut album, “Lessons in Love“, delved into introspection, with the breakout single “If You Let Me” surpassing 100 million streams on Spotify alone!
Her sophomore album, “Ready Is Always Too Late,” garnered critical acclaim and recognition from industry giants like Khalid, Miguel, Elton John, Demi Lovato, Ella Mai and collaborators such as Masego, Vanjess, EARTHGANG and Lucky Daye. Through the release of her latest album, “Boundaries,” Sinéad continues to captivate audiences with her poignant lyrics and soulful voice, delving into her childhood trauma for the first time, and all the healing that comes from starting therapy.
On this album, she explores what got her into it all in the first place – turning to music to heal her pain. This is her most personal project to date with an elevated execution of vocals, production, and lyricism, further cementing her status as a rising star in R&B.
As a dynamic powerhouse, Saweetie continues to solidify herself as a multifaceted artist with her chart-topping songs, successful collaborations, philanthropic endeavors, and captivating on-screen performances. Born Diamonté Harper in Northern California, Saweetie was raised in a multi-ethnic household with her father being of African-American descent and her mother being of Filipino-Chinese descent.
Saweetie was exposed to a wide range of music genres, which would later influence her own sound and identity as a trailblazer for young, culturally diverse individuals around the world. After attending USC and earning a Bachelor’s degree in Communications, Saweetie began to focus on her music career. Since then, Saweetie has accumulated over 6 billion career streams from her chart-topping hits such as the RIAA certified platinum “Tap In” and 4x platinum “My Type” and “Best Friend,” featuring Doja Cat, which also earned two GRAMMY® Award nominations.
In 2024, Cash Money Records’ signee and self-proclaimed “King of R&B,” Jacquees, continued to solidify his legacy as a dominant force in modern R&B. Known for his smooth, soulful voice and his ability to convey both vulnerability and strength, Jacquees remains a master of crafting timeless melodies and heartfelt lyrics that resonate deeply with his audience.
Following the success of his critically acclaimed album “Sincerely For You“, executive produced by Grammy-winning artist Future, Jacquees has taken his artistry to new heights with the release of his latest project, “Baby Making“. This project showcases a matured sound, blending sultry R&B vibes with fresh production, making it the perfect soundtrack for romance and intimacy.
“Baby Making” reaffirms Jacquees’ ability to push the boundaries of contemporary R&B while staying true to his roots. Looking ahead, Jacquees is set to release his highly anticipated fifth studio album, “Mood 2”, in the spring of 2025. Promising to deliver even more of the signature smoothness and heartfelt storytelling that fans love, “Mood 2” is poised to be another milestone in his ever-evolving career.
Jacquees’ magnetic stage presence continues to light up venues around the world, cementing his reputation as an electrifying live performer. With a devoted fan base and an unwavering commitment to his craft, Jacquees remains a trailblazer in the R&B landscape, inspiring both his peers and the next generation of artists.
Packing stadiums, selling out international tours, and racking up 12 chart-topping singles on country radio, Kane Brown continues to break career milestones—all while breaking musical boundaries. Described by Billboard as “the future of country music,” the 56X-Platinum singer-songwriter keeps reaching new milestones: In 2021, he was named to the TIME 100 list, and in 2023, he became the first Black artist to headline and sell out Boston’s historic Fenway Park.
Along the way, he’s landed wins and nominations at the Billboard, ACM, AMA, CMT, and was most recently honored with the Country Champion Award at the 2024 People’s Country Choice Awards. Brown has also been recognized for his ongoing work with The Boys & Girls Club, earning that organization’s Champion of the Youth Award and the Country Radio Seminar (CRS) Humanitarian Award.
According to The New York Times, Brown “didn’t fit the country music mold. So he made his own.” That’s a fitting summary of his self-titled 2016 debut, which made him the first artist to lead all five of Billboard’s main country charts simultaneously. Topping the Top Country Albums chart for more than 13 weeks, the project included two of the most-streamed country songs of all time: the Diamond-certified “Heaven” and 9X-platinum “What Ifs.”
With his 2018 album, “Experiment“, he hit No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200—becoming the first country artist in more than 24 years to top that chart with a second album. He followed with the 2020 EP Mixtape Vol. 1, which earned an ACM Award nomination for Album of the Year, and the 2022 LP “Different Man“.
Brown’s dominance has continued, resulting in nominations for ACM’s Entertainer of the Year in both 2023 and 2024. But he’s also transcended genre, having risen from an independent musician to a trailblazing songwriter to now one of the world’s most recognized artists.
On January 24th, 2025, Brown will release his fourth studio album, “The High Road“, which includes his 12th No. 1 country hit, “Miles On It” (featuring Marshmello), and current radio single “Backseat Driver“. A US arena tour is set to launch in March 2025 in San Diego before heading across the country.
