There are so many little known musicians and obscure music artists out there just waiting to be heard! I have so much fun trawling the internet or streaming platforms in search of non popular artists to look for, and it’s always so satisfying finding a least known singer you haven’t listened to before that you just seem to click with. If you're looking for an unknown music artist who brings something fresh to your ears, check out these incredible talents, and maybe you’ll find your next favorite!

1. Stu Larsen
I saw Stu Larsen last year when he was playing support at Passenger’s concerts. Stu Larsen has a very Passenger-esque sound, with poetic lyrics and simple, acoustic tunes. You can find more about him on his official website. I was lucky enough to speak to him after the show, and not only does he have a voice to die for, he’s a seriously lovely guy as well. He is definitely one of the best acoustic artists and little known musicians you have to check out!
2. Amos Lee
If you like guitar melodies and political and angsty lyrics, you should definitely have a listen to Amos Lee. He’s an American singer/songwriter specializing in the genres of folk, soul and rock, encompassing all of them into songs perfect for lazy summer afternoons. Check out his latest work on his official site. If you’re unsure of which song to start with, definitely check out ‘Careless’ and ‘Supply and Demand.’
| Artist | Genre | Best Vibe | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Stu Larsen | Folk / Acoustic | Morning Coffee | | Amos Lee | Soul / Rock | Sunset Drive | | Ashleigh Mannix | Country / Indie | Beach Day |3. Ashleigh Mannix
Want to feel like you’re on a beachy road trip? Ashleigh Mannix is definitely the gal to take a listen to. I’m not a country music lover, but Ashleigh Mannix certainly has a slight twang to her voice, which makes her music and melodies sweet and harmonious. Her EP, coincidentally titled ‘My First EP,’ is golden. You can also explore more amazing female vocalists on our site.
4. Basement Birds
Basement Birds combine four of my favorite artists ever: Josh Pyke, Kav Temperley (from Eskimo Joe), Steve Parkin and Kevin Mitchell (otherwise known as Bob Evans, from Jebediah). They have four very different voices, but create songs that have stellar harmonies and beautiful lyrics. Put them onto your playlist for some relaxing tunes and discover why they are such respected obscure music artists.

Embrace your unique journey with Switchfoot's empowering tune playing in the background.
5. Belle & Sebastian
To me, the music of Belle & Sebastian is quite ‘50s. Their tunes make you want to put on a twirly skirt and dance around the house - making it particularly good music for cleaning! You won’t be able to resist tapping your toes and singing along to their sweet music. If you enjoy this vibe, check out our list of indie bands to watch.

Belle & Sebastian's melodies are laced with a whimsical charm that can lift the spirits on even the most mundane of days. Their catchy, narrative-driven indie pop songs are evocative of a simpler, more innocent time, yet they capture current themes with eloquence and ease. The band's storytelling prowess, coupled with the delicate instrumental arrangements, make for a perfect soundtrack as you bustle through your chores or simply unwind with a cup of tea. Be sure to let their harmonies transport you to a place where nostalgia and modernity dance together in delightful synchrony.
6. Héloise
Angsty, beautiful lyrics and groovy acoustic sound make up Héloise. She sings crazy songs about Alice in Wonderland and meeting rude people at concerts, and all of this adds up to one very cool album. She released her EP, Birds in My Mouth, after a successfully-funded sponsorship campaign. The song to check out is ‘The Rabbit’!
7. Kate Miller-Heidke
A singer/songwriter from Australia, Kate Miller-Heidke has some of the most incredible vocals I have ever heard. She often verges on opera in many of her songs, but don’t let that put you off - she does it in such a quirky way that you cannot help but smile at her music. You may have heard her song ‘Caught in the Crowd,’ about a childhood bully, but if not, it is well worth a listen.
I hope you enjoy having a listen to these little known musicians! I absolutely cannot wait to hear your feedback on these obscure music artists. All of the artists listed are simply amazing and they all deserve as much recognition as possible. Who is your favorite least known singer? Please share your thoughts and let us know about any other unknown music artist we should check out!
