Limo Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Billie Eilish. Was discovered on SoundCloud and got discovered there. Can’t for the life of me imagine why. Isn’t SoundCloud full of singers like her? But anyway, there you have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeparateHold Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Blank Banshee, originally a vaporwave artist he's now alot closer to idm and ambient. He started by just dropping his debut mixtape, and he ended up getting popular enough to start a label to release his music and doing a world tour.

Zephyr_Nova Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Unknown Mortal Orchestra (started typing "Immortal death" before remember their actual project name. Someone should name something "Immortal Death") Is this thread intended to give us all a tiny sliver of hope? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stock Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 A friend of mine from high school started by posting some tunes on SoundCloud, then eventually her music was used by some famous internet dance crew, and then she did Coachella lol. She regularly tours the US but she's still completely under the radar in France ! Her name is CloZee, she's a talented glitch hop producer !

It was around the time vaporwave was starting to get big, so that obviously contributed to it. It's also just a very quality debut mixtape.

Hugh Mughnus Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 What do we consider “big”? Trackermatte, EOD, and Impakt imo got a lot of traction from these forums imo. Tons or other forumites on the top of my playlist that I consider “big” but maybe haven’t found commercial success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chenGOD Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 The Weeknd is a great example. Uploaded a few tracks from his early mixtapes online and got picked up by Drake I think (might be the one good thing Drake has done in his career). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milkface Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Sweet Trip has seen exponential success recently on their '98 - '09 material. Their stuff was never really online though I think? (Correct me if I'm wrong) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
