Based on data from streaming and sharing, Spotify named 10 “next big things.”
They are producer duo The Aston Shuffle, alt-pop act MT, rock band Gang of Youths, singer-songwriter Gossling, pop duo Max & Bianca, rappers Miracle and Chance Waters and dance outfit The Acid, and New Zealand’s alt-pop singer Tom Lark and rap act Smashproof.
The 10 are whittled down to a winner (announced April 27) based on listens, likes and shares.
The winning prize package includes a Spotify recording session, a promo pack and $5,000 worth of technology from computer company HP.
