Wait...So he just plays the trumpet?

"Don't Leave" 

"Zion" 

Ever heard of Kids These Days? If not I suggest you look it up cause they were dope. Unfortunately the group went their separate ways a while ago, but the solo carriers of the members has created exceptionally awesome music. Nico Segal aka Donnie Trumpet has been doing doing big things since Kids These Days. Although his signature trademark is playing the trumpet for songs, he also does a lot of production work for artists on the rise including Chance the Rapper and Vic Mensa. The two rappers also show up on his self titled EP that was released last year The two tracks I chose are very different and show his versatility as a producer. "Zion" is very instrumental and jazzy, while "Don't Leave" is more electronic. Both are great and you should definitely check them out.    

Ladies and Gentlemen... Sam Smith

Recent winner of the BBC "Critics Choice Award" Samuel Fredrick "Sam" Smith is starting to gain a lot of attention, and rightly so. This dude can sing, and by sing I mean slay tracks with his enchanting vocals. One of the songs he has vanquished just so happens to be the popular Disclosure song "Latch", which he subsequently gained national attention from. This particular song is off of his EP titled "Nirvana" and is called "Safe With Me". I chose this one because I think it really showcases his full singing ability. Smith really lets it loose on this one and by doing so make a pretty great song, the production by Two Inch Punch isn't to bad either, check it out.

P.S He's Lily Allen's cousin
