Kicking off its seventeenth year, BBC’s Sound Of… has kicked off its 2019 season with the BBC ten picks for acts that will dominate our next year. The semi-eclectic mix of names sees artists from as far as the US pick up nominations – with genres ranging from flamenco to indie rock and everything in between.
Voted for by critics, broadcasters and former nominees (which include Stormzy, Sigrid and more) this year’s nominees are:
Dermot Kennedy
Ella Mai
FLOHIO
Grace Carter
King Princess
Mahalia
Octavian
ROSALÍA
Sea Girls
slowthai
Having been won last year by Norwegian pop-sensation Sigrid, this year’s contest has all to play for – with the top five acts being announced from Monday, January 7th via Radio 1 and BBC News, with the winner crowned on Friday 11 January.
