All ten YleX Breakthrough artists are listed in alphabetical order. The top three selected by the jury and the winner of the public vote will be announced next week.

Vote for the artist or band you think is the most promising in the poll at the end of the article.

This is how the jury justifies the choice:

*“Ares has shown coldness and determination by focusing on continuous development of its own sound, which is often the key to long -term success.”*

*“Forging hits after hits.”*

Edicti

This is how the jury justifies the choice:

*“I believe last year’s streaming success will bear fruit for this year. Edict’s name becomes more familiar at gigs and Tiktok, where the artist makes an approachable content. ”*

*“Edicti will be able to show his skills now in front of larger gig audiences, including in Ilosaarirock.”*

Ellime

This is how the jury justifies the choice:

*“Ellimei could play on many different radio channels.”*

*”Despite the bold production solution-or because of them-there is a crossover potential in Ellim. He could be booked for both Ruisrock, Flow and Iskelmä Festival. ”*

The Good Boys

This is how the jury justifies the choice:

*“Good Boys convinces gigs with their stage charisma, group chemistry and creativity: Who else raps and plays accordion at the same time?”*

*“The line -up makes music ambitiously, but not too serious. The mouth twisted into a smile from first -class and unexpected productions and restless transparences. ”*

Jore

This is how the jury justifies the choice:

*“There are stream hits and gigs behind, and now on the dawn of the third album Jore

Kia

This is how the jury justifies the choice:

*“Kian Live Veto convinced a lot.”*

This is how the jury justifies the choice:

*“Luna Kills’ gigs are in a class of their own. Singer Lotta is a convincing bow character who gets a wrapping around the audience like an audience. ”*

*“Credible, fascinating and cool. The band’s visuality and music videos brighten Luna Kills message. ”*

This is how the jury justifies the choice:

*“Neea River is hungry to succeed in Finland and abroad, where UMK gives its own butt. I bet he is one of the most sought -after factors in the song camps this year. ”*

*“Neea River is suitably poppy for the whole nation and a perfect example of the phrase“ Work Hard Until They Can’t Igore You Anymore ”.”*

Olga

This is how the jury justifies the choice:

*“Olga is a timely visionary artist and a skilled live performer.”*

*\”Finnish pop brat whose effect is sure to be reflected in the music of future pop stars.\”*

Coal

This is how the jury justifies the choice:

*“Röge is open and sincere and her rap is agile and insightful. Röge seems to feel the whole scene. ”*

*“Röge, balancing the coolen and popularity of the folkness, is good for both in and outside the metropolitan area.”*
