Underrated Musicians, You Should Try Listening to(If You Haven’t Yet)
Music is a universal language. When simple words fail, add a little tune and you just sing your heart out. And musicians are masters of this art.
The music industry is home to a variety of stars that serves as the heart and soul of the industry itself. Each voice holds the power to inspire and provoke action, make you think, and question or move your emotions.
When you hear the word musician which artist first pops in your head? Taylor Swift, Adele, Harry Styles, Ariana Grande, or maybe The Weeknd? Of course, common answers will consist of well-known names, all of which had their fame already spread worldwide.
However, there are definitely artists who shine outside the spotlight and have the power to enchant you with their music. And you may have heard their song or two, without knowing who sang them.
Indeed, modern songs are great, but there is a greater joy in discovering a new medley of musicians excelling in their craft unbeknownst to many people. It is truly satisfying when you discover an artist before they were famous.
For the love of music…
Refresh your music taste and playlists with the songs of these amazing artists. If you are looking for equally talented and unique singers, don’t worry because I got you.
Join me as I explore the world of music in search of hidden gems hiding in plain sight. Here are underrated musicians you might want to listen to if you haven’t yet.

"Leanne or LJ -- as what her friends would like to call her-- is a walking enigma. She loves reading books more than going out, but would if her family drags her out. The limelight was never her spot, and if you look hard enough, you'll find her in a corner enjoying her peace in the shadows of other people's light.
