Vevo’s Artists to Watch provides emerging artists with engaging, high-quality live performance content to expose them to new global audiences. Alumni include now-household names such as Sam Smith, Billie Eilish, Lewis Capaldi, Maggie Rogers, James Bay and more. Vevo is committed to working with artists at an early stage of their career to create unique content that brings their music to life visually and creatively.
“There are always other artists that inspire you. The kind of people that make you want to work harder, write better songs and connect on a deeper level through your music. I honestly still cannot believe that Vevo chose me to be included in a class full of artists that do this very thing. I am beyond grateful.” – Kylie Morgan
“Kylie Morgan’s sound is nothing short of contagious. “I’m a wrecking ball, red lipstick on” Kylie sings in her hit, “Break Things” and that is exactly the type of fierce, female energy we wanted to capture for our DSCVR Artists to Watch program. Armed with her powerhouse voice, guitar shredding and storytelling, Kylie is going to take Nashville and 2021 by storm.” – Gabby Prisciandaro, Associate Director, Talent & Label Relations
“We’re very proud to announce our DSCVR Artists to Watch list for 2021, now in its 7th year. This is so much more than just a list for us; capturing performances from these artists and providing video content for fans to engage with on a global scale.” says JP Evangelista, SVP of Content, Programming & Marketing, “The health of our team and artists alike is of utmost importance to Vevo. We were pleased to be able to shoot and deliver these performances with proper safety protocols in place, despite obvious challenges. With a lack of touring or being able to perform in front of a live audience, it’s more important than ever that Vevo can promote and market video content that will provide music fans with some must-see performances from some of the hottest new acts.”
Vevo has a long history of helping emerging artists break through to new and wider audiences. Past alumni of Vevo’s DSCVR ‘Artists To Watch’ series including Billie Eilish, Alessia Cara, Little Simz, SlowThai and Lewis Capaldi.

About Kylie Morgan:
EMI Records Nashville’s Kylie Morgan began writing songs in her hometown of Newcastle, OK when she was only 12 years old. A masterful storyteller, the singer-songwriter released her music independently in her early teens, garnering national attention from music producers and television executives. At the age of 16, she was named “Who New To Watch” by the Country Music Association. This early success led Kylie to begin making regular trips to Nashville, crafting her voice and polishing her songwriting. When she turned 19, she made the decision to call Music City home. Recognizing Kylie’s unique talent, the SMACKSongs team signed her to their roster under the guidance of GRAMMY Award-winning songwriters, Shane McAnally and Josh Osborne. Earlier this year, Kylie released the autobiographical “Break Things” which hit both the Spotify US and Global Viral charts and was selected for Amazon’s Weekly One program. Kylie was previously chosen as one of three artists for the CMA KixStart program where she will receive unique opportunities to participate in events as well as connect with industry professionals. Kylie has been named to several Artists to Watch lists including Taste of Country, Pandora, CMT and SiriusXM’s On The Horizon. Kylie has toured with artists including Dan + Shay, Little Big Town, Maren Morris, Kip Moore Gavin DeGraw, Brett Eldredge and Billy Currington. Kylie just released her new song “Cuss A Little” featuring Walker Hayes and is currently in the studio working on her debut album with producers Shane McAnally and Ben Johnson.
