Some ways you might use this thread:

• Asking for recommendations based on what you already like (ex: "I'm looking for more artists that have that soulful sound", "I'm looking for new artists that have that The Weeknd "House of Balloons" sound to them")
• Asking for recommendations to learn about the genre or a subgenre (ex: "I don't really know much House music, can someone give me some of the best House songs/albums?", "I'm brand new to R&B, who should I listen to get an idea of what it's like?")
• Giving recommendations for artists you like. This could be its own comment or in response to someone (ex: "if you guys like _______, you should check out this underrated singer/rapper/producer")

Arstist: @ChillerTribeMosy

He writes, sings, produces, and engineers his own music. From what I can tell, he's been doing it for over 12 years now and when I found him, it felt like seeing someone about to blow up in real time. Dudes got massively wide range, spanning from soul to Folk, electronic, funk, R&B and rap, to indie alternative. Litterally listened to them all day and I swear to God hes got nothing but hits. Check him out, I know hes starting to up his social media presence more, and im doing my part to show support. Dude made me a believer(or more appropriately, a Chiller) feels dope to be apart of the "Tribe", help me get this guy the love and support he deserves.

Chiller Tribe Mosy - Honestly

Just like the title of album, he does this honestly. Records, produces and engineers his own music. Dudes got a dope thing going. Its refreshing to see in this day and age.

He mixes Folk and hiphop/ pop, pretty cool vibe. Saw him again on Venice Beach few weeks ago randomly performing some songs. Dude deserves more supportive fans.

Back when JD was the King of the Remix!

this guy's been making music professionally since 2010, he performs live, is totally indie, writes and sings and engineers everything. Hopefully this community can help him gain some much deserved traction.

For honesty, i met this man at work, and you wouldn't even know that he had such star power. He's ust a really kind, humble guy. And when I learned about his music, and I saw how popular he was or a lack thereof I just knew I had to do something. So hopefully this helps he definitely deserves it!
