Not far from Hobart and William Smith colleges, Kai crossed her way from Canada to America. Her voice can be heard in Flume’s “Never Be Like You” and Skrillex’s, “Mind.” The 25 year old singer-song writer deserves attention on a drive to the beach with the sunroof open and good vibes flowing.
2. Joel Adams
Having his first major break through on Australia’s X-Factor, comes 19 year old Joel Adams. The best part about him being a young adult is that you’ll be able to follow and watch him grow as an artist.
