4 Underrated Artists You Should Listen To, If You've Been Living Under A Rock

They might not have 60 million followers on Instagram, but nonetheless are super talented and worthy of a listen.

I think most people can agree that big-name musical artists are fun to listen to and often have some catchy hits. Stars like Ariana Grande and Drake are constantly pumping out songs that are made for easy listening and good times. However, sometimes we crave the creative works of singers who are lesser known in the industry.

Here are four talented musicians that you may not have heard of but still have serious talent.

1. Léon

This Swedish indie pop artist's upbeat singles "Tired of Talking" and "Think About You" are undoubtedly worth a listen.

I don't know if this newly popular artist would be considered underrated by many, especially since one of his hits, "I Like Me Better" hit number 29 on U.S. Billboard Hot 100 this year. However, many of his other songs haven't attracted the same kind of mainstream attention. His soulful piano ballad, "The Story Never Ends" is an ode to a messy breakup, and "Breathe" describes splitting up when you've seen your partner change over time.

3. John Mark McMillan

Author of the wildly popular Christian hit "How He Loves," McMillan has been making music since 2002, but lacks the following of other talented Christian artists like Cory Asbury.

4. Micheal Ketterer

As a successful competitor on America's Got Talent and a unique vocalist with a semi-fruitful experience in the music industry, Michael Ketterer is an unearthed gem worth looking into.

Christmas is literally so close. We can almost taste it. But there is just one thing standing between you and the big day: FINALS. It's not the studying, lack of sleep, last minute cram sessions or crappy food intake that is the worst... but the fact that you cannot focus because, well, CHRISTMAS. How do professors expect you to focus when Christmas is soooo soon. For all my fellow Christmas lovers out there, I feel your pain.

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
