We can’t deny it, but there are some artists we want to gatekeep for ourselves. 

Not because they don’t deserve the success, but because discovering them before everyone else feels like finding a secret world.

Millions of streams. A devoted online following. Songs quietly circulating through late-night playlists and social media algorithms. 

Yet, somehow, very few people knew anything about the artist behind them.

That anonymity, however, is beginning to fade, writes Music News Blitz’s Victoria Bruwer.
