(Cue playlist above, here we go, PROJECT.FM's top five for 2021... )

5.  SVCHXCKY - CASTLEVANIA


A multitalented artist from Philadelphia, PA, SVCHXCKY merges multiple worlds and presents that duality in all aspects of his craft, from songwriting, fashion, art, creative direction.

Merging his uplifting fun spirit with aggression, SVCHXCKY's work is an embodiment of his background and the integrity of his home. Rightfully so, as a true creative, SVCHXCKY is involved and extremely hands on with his creative process, from having a Scorsese-esque vision for his next visual presetations, to taking it upon himself to make edits in music videos, even demanding to remove the strings from the melody when nobody in the studio can even hear the strings, SVCHXCKY is just built like that.

SVCHXCKY has been embraced with open arms by the Bay Area community, and is such a positive light amongst our peers, it was tough for us to even put CASTLEVANIA at the FIVE spot but we have no doubt we'll be revisting his name around this same time next year.

4. XANUBIS - Final Fantasy

XANUBIS, a 21-year-old lyricist, songwriter, producer, social activist, creative, mentor, we kid you not .. model is really just the people's champ in his home city of San Francisco, California. Catch XANUBIS skating around the Tederloin area, collaborating with and uplifting other aspiring music artists at Hyde St. Studios, it's really everyday / neighborhood activities...

An introspective soul with a quick wit, XANUBIS's music explores the contrast of his hedonistic and nihilistic exterior and his passionate, romantic interior as he reluctantly accepts his fading youth.

Music aside for a second, XANUBIS possesses one of the purest, kindest, and unconditionally loving souls we've ever met. With any form of art, it is always refreshing to understand the purity and care for humanity equally behind the art and that's exactly what XANUBIS is to our city.


3. SAMMY PLUTO - Pain Show

With San Francisco’s dominant run but more importantly, the city’s embracement of emerging new artists & sounds, SAMMY PLUTO has next in his home city.

PLUTO’s extensive penmanship takes listeners to a moment relatable and with the PLUTO & B artist-producer duo bringing orchestral sounds, worldly elements, as peak, PLUTO seamlessly blends audiovisual worlds between Soul, Hip-Hop, R&B, and Storytelling

As he explores themes of success, coping with depression, trauma, grappling with and championing this duality, SAMMY PLUTO’s debut project is one we're huge fans of, and one our city can be proud of.


2.  Leo SC, Sammy Pluto, Bclip - UP

Originally from Japan, raised in San Francisco, the city he calls home, 2021 was the year 17-year-old Leo SC solidified his artistry with his endless discography and consistent what seems like weekly releases.

Leo SC brings this sense of absolute confidence (by no ways egotistical) and demonstrates an incredible artist work ethic, submitting single after single after single, always looking to sharpen his skillsets. It has been our absolute pleasure to witness such growth from the sidelines as Leo continues to hone his craft, and even more of privilege to have the opportunity to contribute to his creative process. .

His music journey may have started In the midst of this year's pandemic, but promise Leo SC is a name you'll be hearing for the next ten.
