Ashnikko
Perhaps one of TikTok's earliest viral stars, Ashnikko's bubbly-punk raps are as bold as her iconic blue pigtails. She most recently collaborated with Grimes for her latest track "Cry."
Avenue Beat
The Quincy, Illinois-based trio of friends took over TikTok with their catchy "Fuck 2020" anthem, gaining 4.5 million views in less than a day.
Flo Milli
You might recognize the Mobile, Alabama-based rapper from her addictive sing-songy flow, and iconic tagline ("Flo Milli shit"), as heard on the viral "In The Party."
Benee
Auckland, New Zealand singer Benee has skyrocketed into the spotlight with her self-deprecating and super relatable bop "Supalonely."
KBFR
There's not much out there about Philly rapper KBFR at the moment, but that's surely to change as the instructional and joyous "Hood Baby" — that's soundtracked dance challenges and terrifying stunts — climbs the charts.
Powfu
Vancouver lo-fi artist Powfu first blew up on TikTok with his song "deathbed," a dreamy, Beabadoobee-sampling tune that's soundtracked people making pancakes and kissing their best friends. He's now released a new EP called poems of the past.
BMW Kenny
The man behind TikTok's #MirrorChallenge soundtrack is Kenneth Cole, a songwriter who's written hits for Justin Bieber, Rae Sremmurd and Trey Songz. Now, labels are fighting to sign him as his first single "Wipe It Down" is at 3.2 million TikTok posts and counting.
SALES
It's hard to tell if Orlando duo SALES knows they're TikTok famous judging from their social media. Either way, their whimsical indie-rock tunes have been soundtracking everything from pimple-squeezing videos to the tiniest of butt wagging videos. The latest song of theirs to quietly ascend on the charts is their 2013 serenade, "renee."
