Rhea Raj

Chartmetric Rank: 24,693
Genre:
Pop/Electropop
Country: United States

Rhea Raj is a 26-year-old Indian-American singer, songwriter, and producer based between Los Angeles and New York. Known for her ethereal production style, she blends elements of her South Asian heritage with global pop and dance music. Her love for performance began at age two through classical Indian dance, and she first gained national recognition at 15 as a contestant on American Idol Season 15. In 2022, she released “Devil In A Dress” and “Outside,” both of which went viral on TikTok and led to her being named a Gold House x Spotify Artist of the Year shortly after. More recently, in late 2025, Rhea released her second project, COMMOTION, led by the singles “Killer,” “Mumbai,” and “Haute Couture” featuring Aliyah’s Interlude. Her growing visibility has also intersected with that of her sister, Lara Raj, a member of the global girl group KATSEYE. Beyond her music, Rhea is the founder of her own label, Misschief Records, where she is carving out her vision of a modern international pop artist.

Rochelle Jordan

Chartmetric Rank: 17,921
Genre: R&B/Soul/House
Country:  Canada 

With 1.2M Spotify monthly listeners, Rochelle Jordan has steadily built a deeply loyal fanbase. Born in London and raised in Toronto by artistic British-Jamaican parents, she grew up immersed in northern soul, reggae, and dancehall, influences that continue to shape her sonic palette. Early exposure to UK house, drum and bass, and garage music is reflected today in her hybrid musical identity, where alternative R&B meets forward-thinking electronic production inspired by ’90s UK garage, house, and electronic soul. Working closely with longtime collaborator and producer KLSH, who has contributed across her catalog, Jordan consistently delivers immersive, adventurous, and emotionally resonant music. Her most recent album, Through The Wall (2025), received widespread critical acclaim, earning an 8.3 from Pitchfork, which described it as a “perfectly executed club record.” Due to the nature of her music and her encouragement of  remix culture, her tracks are frequently picked by DJs and producer-artists for remix projects. Notable names include Kaytranada, &ME, Machiendrum, and many more. 

Feng

Chartmetric Rank: 2,812
Genre: Rap/Hip-Hop
Country: United Kingdom

Feng (Travas Alan Fenley) is a 19 year old British underground rapper and producer who despite his young age is now riding the same wave of underground UK rap renaissance that fellow British rappers like Fakemink and Esdeekid are riding. He began experimenting with music in 2019 at just 13 years old, before gaining wider recognition in early 2025 with his debut mixtape, What The Feng. His production style blends dreamy, nostalgic sounds inspired by the 2010s, fusing indie-pop textures with hip-hop to contribute to the growing popularity of cloud rap. With a limited discography his tracks were able to be featured on top Spotify playlists, including Singed XOXO with “J*b”, Internet People with “XOXO, J*b, and Teenage Famous” and many more. 

Kiss Facility 

Chartmetric Rank: 39,713
Genre: Shoegaze/ Indie Rock
Country: Egypt, UAE, Ireland 

Kiss Facility is the project of Mayah Alkhateri, an Emirati-born, half-Egyptian singer and songwriter, alongside Irish producer Salvador Navarrete, better known as Sega Bodega. Described as their shoegaze “love child,” Kiss Facility blends indie rock and dream pop with Arabic influences. Their music pairs hazy rhythms and heavily reverbed guitars with Arabic lyrics that explore love, mysticism, spiritual growth, abandonment, and desire, delivered through Mayah’s breathy, enchanting vocals. Arabic language and identity sit at the core of the project, as Mayah aims to carve out space for Arabic within shoegaze while challenging long-held assumptions about the genre’s commercial viability, particularly in Arab markets. Their debut EP Esoteric was met with notable attention, led by singles like “In My Room” and “So Many Ways.” The duo is set to release their first album, Khazna, on February 26. In a short time, Kiss Facility has built a growing fanbase, amassing 79.5K Instagram followers, 23.3K Spotify followers, and 21.7K TikTok followers.

Winny

Chartmetric Rank:  48,405
Genre: Afrobeats
Country: Nigeria 

Winny (Winifred Ohili Adanu) is a rising Nigerian singer and songwriter known for her genre-bending sound that blends reggae, R&B/soul, and Afropop. With one EP and a full-length album under her belt, she has steadily gained recognition for a style she describes as “evolving,” refusing to be confined to a single genre and always seeking something fresh to explore. Winny lets her personal journeys shape her music in order to feel connected with her audience and allow her audience to connect to her. Her distinctive voice and resonant sound earned her a spot as an Apple Music “Up Next” artist in Nigeria in 2023. Most recently, her project Commercial Break has seen strong streaming momentum, marking a significant step forward in her rise.
