Léonie Pernet

A fully accomplished musician who keeps putting out the good tunes and mixing all kinds of influences together. Definitely one of the most exciting acts France has produced recently.

Bonnie Banane

I've heard her stuff for a while but this year I properly explored Bonnie Banane's discography and I loved it. Plenty of good songs and this year, she has released an album of sexy songs with Joseph Schiano di Lombo. Really like her bold persona. Also saw a surreal interview of her. Instant gay icon. Love her.

Flavien Berger

Flavien Berger shot up to my top 5 artists in my Spotify Wrapped this year and with good reason. I dived into his discography and loved what I found. Also saw interviews of him and he was talking about his creative process, it was very interesting. I wish I was living in France again just to attend all of his gigs like a groupie, screaming his name and throwing my t-shirt to the stage wet with my tears.

Confidence Man

My friends and I spent a weekend in the countryside and they started playing songs from this Aussie band. It's just efficient, fun pop and the band is a bit crazy, composed of four members: two of them always masked and taking care of the beats while the other two, Janet Planet and Sugar Bones, sing and do the silliest choreographies on stage. I really like their video for Holiday, which was filmed in Australia with some scenic shots in gorgeous landscapes.

Ami Dang

A singer-songwriter of South Asian heritage who mixes sitar with electronic beats to produce soothing soundscapes. Great for timelapse Sunset stories on Instagram.

And the winner is... Flavien Berger! Every year I usually give the awards to different artists but it sometimes happens that an artist is so good they score two! OMG, what an honour!
