Ones to Watch: 12AM

There’s no exact science to predicting the next breakout sensation. But once in a while you stumble across an artist that takes you completely by surprise. Their sound is unlike anything you’ve ever heard before. And they leave you feeling confident that they’re the next big thing and poised to have a huge career. One artist who’s on our radar for 2017 is 12AM. The Toronto based R&B/Hip-Hop musician attracted major attention when his first single, “Couple Pills,” went viral with over 900k+ streams. Yes, over 900k! Last week, he released his highly-anticipated EP, Afterparty, and well, we haven’t stopped listening to it. But don’t just take our word for it, have a listen below!

Perfectly titled, Afterparty is an exciting statement by this rising talent. As you’re listening, you’ll soon discover that each track is better than the next. And they showcase 12AM’s versatility and musicianship. Keep your eyes (and ears) on 12AM!
