Gay man’s guide: Artists to discover in 2025

items I'm a HUGE music fanatic. I live and breathe it. I average over 50,000 listens on Spotify year on year, and though I have a slight bias towards pop divas, my taste is diverse and authentic. I love a music festival, discovering new artists, taking bet...

ITS GONNA BE MAY - In celebration of SUMMER, I've cheated and given you 6, not 5, artists to watch
Robert Baxter has released an EP of incredible work - for me, CAMBOY is the standout. Chills. It's fresh, it's androgynous, and it's very early on in their career. Calling it - we will see more from this artist.
Robert Baxter | CAMBOY
If you like Chappell Roan, you'll love Chloe Qisha - but I promise she adds something extra. Chloe Qisha is the hot topic in the UK music industry at the moment, quickly picking up speed with a lot of PR and not so much TikTok attention. Keep an eye ...
Chloe Qisha | Modern Romance
Nxdia is UK-Based, with Egyptian/Sudanese heritage. Their music is unapologetic, loud and veers towards oversharing - thats how they like it - and More! in particular has a fun undertone of playfulness. Will probably see a different type of succcess ...
Nxdia | More!
Liquid Drum and Bass continues to perform well among gen Z and Charlotte Plank definitely capitalises on that. In a world where Pink Pantheress is about to reach super-stardom, artists like Charlotte Plank are highly likely to grow over time.
Charlotte Plank | little miss sunshine
XKYLAR shows up pretty consistently in the Spotify Radio's of Slayyyter, COBRAH and other similar artists. It's no question she's growing up - sexy, sultry, dark house music that's an easy listen and also an earworm. She kind of gives off the vibe of...
XKYLAR | TALK2ME
Turkish-born INJI is bringing something VERY different and exciting- and very possibly bringing back the genre that is Dubstep! I'm so excited by INJI and think she's primed to have a big up-tick over the next few months.
INJI | U WON'T!
April
April has FED me bitch just you wait
LSDXOXO has just dropped his latest single, which forms part of his upcoming album on June 13th. It EATS and I can't wait for the rest of the album to take over.
LSDXOXO - QT (feat. COBRAH)
Six Sex has her eyes SET on circuit parties. This track would fit so so well in those 4 am clubs some of us know too well… its such a fun, easy track to listen to. MORE PLEASE!
Six Sex | How to make your ass bigger
This entire track had me genuinely jaw dropped. Please don't judge him based on his ‘look’ - I promise, this is a genuine banger. I want so, so much more for him. WE NEED MORE GAYS SERVING LIKE THIS.
Cain Culto - KFC Santeria
Strut-central over here. It's nothing GROUNDBREAKING, but it's fun and sticks in your brain. I think we'll see more from this one before she blows up, but this is definitely along the right track.
Lexie Liu | POP GIRL
IDGAF forms part of the ICON BABY album, and is far from the one with the most listeners, but I think it's the most musically interesting in the album. She's definitely had a good month though no matter how you spin it, and I think we'll see her at s...
Chase Icon| IDGAF
March
I stumbled across Reysha late one night while doom-scrolling, and honestly, I haven't been the same since. "turnmeon.virus" hit me like that perfect 3AM moment when you're not quite drunk but definitely not sober. Her voice feels like it's whispering...
REYSHA RAMI | TURNMEON.virus
I've been a Sugababes fan since forever, but when "Jungle" dropped, I nearly spilled my morning coffee. This isn't just nostalgia - it's a proper evolution that had me replaying it five times straight. The beat hits exactly right, giving me that same...
SUGABABES - JUNGLE
I wasn't ready for what JENNIE dropped in March! "like JENNIE" is that perfect blend of cocky and captivating that hits you like a shot of espresso. The production (co-crafted with Diplo) is an absolute hurricane of electronic beats with this unexpec...
LIKE JENNIE | JENNIE
Louane's Eurovision entry for France this year absolutely destroyed me - in the best way possible. "Maman" hit me right in the feels with its raw emotion about motherhood and loss (she lost both parents as a teen but is now a mom herself). Her voice ...
LOUANE | MAMAN
I was NOT prepared for what LE SSERAFIM did with "COME OVER" - this track has completely hijacked my morning commute playlist! There's something so confident yet vulnerable about how they've evolved their sound here - more of this magnetic pull that ...
Le Sserafim | Come Over
February
TEYA performed at Eurovision in 2024 - but she's likely to break into the mainstream if she continues to release BANGERS like Behind The Scenes, Spotify linked.
TEYA - Behind the Scenes

BRONZE AVERY has such a unique sound - none of the pop boys are doing it like him. Scan and Copy gives a Britney Spears energy that is exciting and I really hope his next album takes him over the top.
BRONZE AVERY - Scan and Copy
If you like Slayyyter you're gonna love COBRAH. BRAND NEW BITCH is my personal favourite but I honestly think about 4/5 of her songs could be placed her. Warning - NSFW. Great for stomping your way to work though.
COBRAH - BRAND NEW BITCH
2 for 1 here! Of the two, I think KIMMIC is more likely to blow up, but both are solid. You're welcome.
KIMMIC & MIMI - Tokyo
bbno$ is so, so hot and I think the most likely to blow up in 2025 from my February shortlist. He's started appearing on podcats on TikTok… he has done drag and is good friends with Jimbo so you know he FUCKS. it boy is my personal fav.
bbno$ - it boy
