chicocurlyhead
nation: Panama/United States
Why they should be on your radar: If you showed up early to day two of PMC's LA3C festival, chances are that at some point you've made your way to the main stage and found Chicocurlyhead opening the festival with their impressive set. That's the beauty of music festivals, discovering the small print artists in the lineup or even seeing a new act perform for the first time. I had heard of the Chicocurlyhead but never seen it live. The Panamanian-born, Atlanta-raised singer-songwriter has won new fans with his groovy and groovy Hispanic music, which meanders effortlessly through R&B, trap, and rock, showcasing his versatility.
There was such a coolness to him that I just found it a joy to watch. He had so much fun on stage, never stopping smiling as he enjoyed it all, even if it was just a few of us watching. He made us all feel welcome and interacted with the people who were watching, which made him very endearing. Not all artists can achieve this. Not only is Chicocurlyhead extremely talented, but his stage persona really draws you in. - Griselda Flores

Monogamy
nation: Mexico/United States
Why they should be on your radar: Monogem is also one of LA3C's discoveries, and it really is...a gem. I only regret listening to it for the first time now, but I feel like I did it at the right time and at the right moment. The Mexican-American artist recently presented her first Spanish-language album gardenia, "Nothing has changed since she wrote her first Spanish song," she said during her concert.
Monogem enjoyed every second of her time on stage, and was supposed to sing and perform in Spanish, because she does it with passion and passion. Writing from her own experience as a Mexican-American growing up in Los Angeles, Monogem sings about the complexities of being bicultural while embracing her bisexuality, making it easy for us to identify with her music. "Bienvenidos a mi vida, una vida muy tranquila yo sé que soy una pinche gringa," she confidently declares in "Dame La Fuerza," one of my new favorite songs. - GF

Svetlana Morey
nation: Venezuela
Why they should be on your radar: At the age of nine, Svetlana Mori began taking piano and guitar lessons, which she combines to this day with her academic studies as a high school student in Sarasota, Florida, where she lives. Now, at 18, the Venezuelan artist is known as a promising singer-songwriter, buoyed by three independently released singles this year, including the refreshing pop hit "Bailemos Juntitos."
"So let's dance together/ Let the rumors cry/ So let's dance together/ Your beat with my rhythm/ Mixing the colors/ Of the blue inks," belts out in Spanish on the song written and produced by Alejandro Campos. Svetlana, who cites Cani GarcÃa as one of her biggest inspirations, plans to release more music in 2023. In addition to "Bailemos Juntitos," Svetlana's burgeoning catalog includes the songs "Droga" and "La Gota." Collectively, they have accumulated nearly 1 million YouTube videos. - SIGAL RATNER-ARIAS

Young Miku
nation: Puerto Rico
Why they should be on your radar: From Añasco, Puerto Rico, Young Mico (real name: Maria Victoria) is a force to be reckoned with. At just 25, the newcomer is claiming her crown as the next big trap star. She was discovered by Latino label Caleb Calloy, who produced her debut single "105 Freestyle" in 2021. Since then, she has collaborated with popular urban acts such as Villano Antillano, Lunay, Lyanno, Casper Magico, and Akapellah. In her raunchy viral trap song "Riri," you'll spot her virtuoso rapping abilities, while in tracks like "Condado," you'll come across her tender vocals. On her way to the industry, Mico joined Bad Bunny onstage for his show in Puerto Rico this summer, also a featured act on Arcángel's latest album SR. Santos. - JR
