Want to know who's going to be making it onto your iTunes this year? Well I have the answers! Here is give of the latest upcoming artists who I rhink are going to be up to big things this year. Take a listen and see what you think...




1. Liam Bailey


This Notingham-based soul singer already released two EP's last year, but is set for BIG things in 2011. Originally found by the one and only Amy Winehouse, he was signed by her label 'Lioness Records', but is set to release his debut album this year through Polydor Records. He has also been working with Chase and Status and features on their latest track 'Blind Faith' which will be avaiable in January so listen out for that. Here's a little taster of his material- first release 'Fool Boy'.





2. Ghostpoet


This guy is seeeerriously talented. Looks like Tinie and sounds like a half-asleep version of The Streets, he will coax you into a dream-like state of bliss. His album should be out later this year, but for now, enjoy the delicious 'Cash and Carry me Home'.




3. Maverick Sabre

This London-born, Irish-raised singer/songwriter has been on my playlist for a while now. You may know him from Pro Green's latest track 'Jungle' which he features, but he's also got a whole load of his own material- and it's pretty amazing. His unique voice and simple but haunting melodies really capture you in. This is on of my favourites 'They Found Him A Gun'.




4. Clare Maguire

This singer-songwriter has got a hauntingly powerful voice that ahs been compared to the likes of Annie Lennox and Florence Welch. Signed to Polydor Records, she is set for big things this year. Hear is 'Aint Nobody'- just one of her moving and anthemic songs.




5. Daley

He is from Manchester, is has funny hair and his voice is absolutely gorrrrgeous! Honestly this guy will give you shivers. He was first found when he uploaded his material to the BBC's Introducing Website and got picked up by Radio 1xtra. Well, thank god he did- he is amazing. Looking forward to hearing more stuff from him in 2011.
