AlunaGeorge

 

AlunaGeorge are Aluna Francis and George Reid, a electro-R&B duo making gloopy, fuzzy music with a poppy glow. They're also part of the Bacardi Beginnings project.

Angel

 

The singer-songwriter has been hailed as the new bad-boy of R&B, thanks to his tattoos and hard-man swagger. But actually, his voice is as Angelic as his name!

Conor Maynard

 

Just in case you've been living under a teeny-bopper-proof bridge for the past year, Conor Maynard is the suburban sensation who shot to fame after getting a humoungous YouTube following.

Delilah

 

The soul singer has been described as the missing link between 80s musician Sade and the xx. Her epic songs have been remixed a load, bringing them to dancefloors across the country.

Jessie Ware

 

The singer, who went to the same school as Florence Welch, some of The Maccabees and Jack Penate, makes soaring, sensual soul with mellow electronic pulsations. She's also nominated in the Best UK Female category.

Lianne La Havas

 

The singer-songwriter makes sassy, guitar-flecked, danceable songs with massive, catchy choruses, even though this one is called Forget, we remember all the words!

Misha B

 

The X Factor alumnus has put a dash of dancehall and moombahton (you read it right) flavour into her songs, though we're sure that she's been given options to do much poppier, dancier fare. The remixes have also gone down a treat in clubs!

Rita Ora

 

The immensely successful singer has only been around for less than a year, but she's so popular that she's been given four nominations at this year's awards!

Rudimental

 

The musical quartet, from Hackney, have already scored a hit with Feel The Love, but how well will they fare at the MOBOs? We don't think this is the last we've seen of them...

Stooshe

 

The excitable threesome have stormed the radiowaves with their explosively poppy songs. But will the raunchy trio win big?
