11 Artists You Should Know In 2011

Elle Varner

Elle VarnerAlicia Keys’ protege, the next voice in R&B

Elle Varner, born of two published songwriters, spent most of her childhood sleeping on studio couches, running around green rooms, and watching her parents struggle to make a name in the industry. With music running through her veins, Elle was singing as soon as she could speak, playing the flute at 6 and the piano at 9. But it wasn’t until her attendance at AGC (Amazing Grace Conservatory) that her ear for harmony, melody and complex rhythm truly developed.

Currently, Elle Varner is signed to MBK/J Records, a team that recognizes her many talents; from her unique voice complimented by her guitar strum to her potential of becoming one of music’s greatest songwriters. A little girl whose deepest comfort was once found in the vibration of the human voice will soon be comforting this world with her highly anticipated debut album.

    J. Cole is on point. His music has a way with folks. Jessie J I heart her songs. I expect big things from her. That Elle Varner though. Words can not describe her musical talent. She is so awesome. Alicia sure knows how to pick them. Listen to that So Fly and Valentine every other day on-line. Album should be an anticipation for everyone.

    No Big Krit? He nicer than 99% of the hip hop acts y’all have listed on here!

  • already

    Took the words right out of my mouth Big Krit, Curren$y, Nipsey Hussle, Jay Electronica, Elzhi, Smoke Dza, or Tabi Boney…hip hop is coming back its just a matter of time…bye bye to all the wacc rap…wiz khalifa is bringing the new era of hip hop in…and he has been rapping underground since 2005..way before the black and yellow…Wiz may not be as lyrical but he makes good songs kind of like Snoop back in the day…
