Rising To Fame

There are many people that rise to fame for making amazing covers on YouTube (e.g. Justin Bieber). Today I will be highlighting which people that I have talked about in my previous posts have risen to fame.

 Edei


Emma Deigman, known as Edei (stage name), is quickly rising to fame in the UK as well as in America. She has  two new singles out called "In My Bed" and "Loved" which are up beat and have a pop beat to them. In an interview with popreviewsnow Edei says:

[Describing her music] "I would say its summery, fun and soulful, a cd you can just put on in the car or at home just relaxing and just have it playing the whole way through!" - Edei

"We Found Love" Cover by Boyce Avenue




I applaud Boyce Avenue for their astounding cover of Rihanna's' song "We Found Love". The band started getting recognition when in 2006 they started posting original material as well as cover songs on YouTube. Now they have their own record label called '3 Peace Records'. As for members of the band there are 3 in total, Alejandro Manzano (lead vocals, guitar, piano), Fabian Manzano (guitar, bass, backing vocals, keyboards) and Daniel Manzano (bass, percussion, backing vocals, violin). And yes, by looking at their last names they are brothers who were originally from Puerto Rico. They are now touring with other bands and gaining a huge fan-base. Check them out! ---> Boyce Avenue

"Grenade" Cover by Edei



I instantly fell in love with Edei's voice when I heard her cover for Bruno Mars' 3-time Grammy nominee "Grenade". At the age of 22 Edei is about to release her debut album that includes her single "Loved". Her song "Loved" actually incorporates the background beat of Ben E. King's "Stand By Me". Her voice is amazingly soulful and zealous which is why I adore Edei and her music.

"E.T." Cover by Alex Goot


One word. AMAZING! This guy can seriously sing. Alex Goot's cover of Katy Perry's "E.T." is definitely very creative. It's awesome how he plays ALL the instruments for his cover songs. Alex sings with so much passion and his voice is so... hypnotizing. :) I hate to say this but I actually like this song 100 times better than the original. If you like Alex's cover check out his YouTube channel HERE where he posts many more great cover songs!
