10) Nina Nesbitt
Having toured with Example and Ed Sheeran at the back end of last year, 2012 could be a breakout year for the Edinburgh born singer/songwriter. She released her debut EP 'Live Takes' in December and this is just a short snippet of whats to come.



9) Sam Frank
Frequent Skream collaborator and excellent songwriter Sam Frank is looking to go it alone in 2012. His debut single 'Simple Life' was released on the 1st January and I one for one am looking forward to many more Talkbox tracks in 2012.
