We’ve all heard of the big names like Pewdiepie, Smosh, and Ryan Higa. From comedians to musicians to beauty gurus to gamers, there is a lot of talent present online. While they all have their merits and have put in immense work to get to where they are, there are many YouTubers who deserve a much larger fan base.
1. JusReign
Jasmeet Singh, professionally known as JusReign, is a Canadian comedian of Indian descent. While he has been active since 2009, he has yet to reach a million subscribers. His videos are very catered towards Indians, especially those brought up by immigrant parents, which might be the reason why he doesn’t have a huge follower count. But at the same time, if he becomes generic, he’ll be like every other comedic YouTuber out there.
2. Leroy Sanchez
Leroy is a Spanish singer based in Los Angeles who posts covers of popular songs. He keeps them original, often singing in Spanish or creating mash-ups. While he is definitely getting more popular, having over 3 million subscribers, he deserves to blow up.
3. Sam Tsui
Another singer who deserves so much more recognition than he currently receives. Sam was first featured in many covers alongside fellow YouTuber, Kurt Hugo Schneider, but has since made his own channel to show off his talents. His vibrant energy and immense vocal reach has earned him 2.8 million subscribers, but truly deserves much more.
4. Harry Mack
Although he has only 80,000 subscribers, freestyle rapper Harry Mack was recently featured on the Ellen DeGeneres show, which is definitely the start of a big career. He has been on many radio shows, spitting out his freestyle, and even rapped alongside his icon, Kendrick Lamar. Hopefully, we will be seeing his name more in the future.
5. Vidya Vox
I got to be a little biased and go with my name twin for this last one. Also, I didn’t seem to include a girl until now on this list. Vidya Iyer, professionally known as Vidya Vox, is an Indian singer raised in Virginia. While she is establishing quite a bit of a fan base with 3.5 million subscribers, her original covers and songs set in pretty backgrounds should earn her more. She also mixes popular songs with her native Indian language, which is how my dad actually found her and introduced her to me.
