5 Creative Artists We Love Right Now (January 2026)
The world is full of mind-blowing talent. Everywhere we look, there are emerging artists who are pushing boundaries, breaking rules, and creating music that feels incredibly fresh and authentic.
At RealTune, our mission has always been to champion the human element in music. While the mainstream might be focused on algorithm-friendly hits and AI-generated background noise, the real heart of music is beating in the studios and bedrooms of independent creators who pour their souls into every note.
We'd like to share a few of them with you. These artists represent exactly why we started RealTune: to provide a home for raw, honest, and wildly creative expression. We will be sharing more artists every month, so make sure to check back often and follow our journey.
Burnt Log
Music for taking yourself seriously to whilst out with the dog or maybe standing at a bus stop. Themes of sadness, frustration and ageing. Influences are many but it often comes back to men who wore raincoats in the eighties.
Medivh
Their songs are deeply personal, born from late night conversations, shared struggles and the kind of brotherly love that only comes from years of standing side by side.
The Attic
We’re here to crank up the volume, let loose, and share music that people can feel in their bones. “The attic is that untapped space in your head where creativity runs wild.” That’s where our sound comes from, and we can’t wait to share it with the world.
Andreas Gavlén
Andreas Gavlén weaves dreamy soundscapes with introspective lyrics. His music moves between indie, alt-rock, and post-punk, with each track carrying emotional depth and a sense of fleeting time.
Roman Joon
Crafted using manual techniques like re-recording audio and voice clips through tape machines to warp and glitch sound, the album’s rhythmic foundation leans into dreamy synths, soft electronic beats, and guitars soaked in indie-psychedelic soundscapes. Influences include Dijon, Tame Impala, Amen Dunes, Ben Howard, and Big Thief.
Why Support Emerging Artists?
Supporting an independent artist isn't just about the music—it's about fueling a dream. When you listen to, share, or support a creative mind who is just starting out, you're helping to ensure that the music industry remains a place of diversity and genuine innovation.
