GLOBAL music streaming platform Spotify recently unveiled the new slate of artists for this year’s RADAR Philippines.

Included in the 2024 lineup are the current OPM hitmakers Maki, Dionela, and Cup of Joe and Pinoy hip-hop rising stars Hev Abi and Illest Morena. 

Also joining the exciting roster of RADAR artists are Pinoy R&B sound makers Jason Dhakal and Denise Julia, indie sibling duo Ysanygo, and Bicol’s pride dwta.
