Every year, the BBC aims to predict who we will be listening to in the year ahead, and now the organisation has unveiled its longlist for the Sound Of 2017 poll.
Fifteen up-and-coming acts have been selected for this year's list, which includes notable rapper Anderson .Paak, singer Jorja Smith, and US phenomenon Maggie Rogers, who have all been tipped for bigger things throughout this year.
BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra's Head Of Music, Chris Price, states, “The BBC Music Sound Of panel, always the broadest and most objective list of new music tastemakers assembled each year - which now includes international voices too - has delivered yet another exciting and diverse list of new and emerging talent to look out for next year. These are the names that will capture the imagination of music lovers the world over in 2017... judging by the crop of talent on this year's long list, there's no shortage of future stars to choose from."
Last year's winner Jack Garratt went on to have an incredible year, as well as release his debut album 'Phase'. Check out the full list of nominees for this year's prize below.
