In September, F3miii scored 20 weeks on the US Billboard Hot 100 with his single, 'Noble'.

Music video network Vevo has announced Nigerian-Irish R&B star F3miii as one of the musicians on its DSCVR Artists to Watch 2027 list.

Other artists on the list include 54 Ultra, Asha Banks, Devon Again, Die Spitz, Frost Children, Paloma Murphy, The Paradox and more.

Now in its 13th year, the Artists to Watch campaign is described as a selection of global artists who Vevo has tipped to break through to the mainstream.

"Curating this forward-looking lineup requires a blend of analytics, market trends and genuine musical instinct from our worldwide team," said JP Evangelista, Vevo's EVP of content, programming and marketing.

"In addition to the selection itself, our custom live Vevo studio recordings equip these artists with compelling visual content to engage audiences around the globe."

On Tuesday, Vevo began to showcase live performance video content from the 2027 artists. The programme has so far released 'Class Introduction' videos for Dominican bachata singer Dalvin La Melodia and Puerto Rican trap artist Conep.

Previous members of the Artists to Watch list include Sam Smith in 2014, Billie Eilish and Lewis Capaldi in 2018, Ice Spice in 2023 and Chappell Roan in 2024, among others.

This year, Sienna Spiro has been named Vevo DSCVR's Artist of the Year, an award given to "one stand-out artist" who embodies "drive, stage presence, personality, a kaleidoscopic artistic vision, a sound that is distinctly their own, and a special and undeniable connection with a global audience."

In September, F3miii scored 20 weeks on the US Billboard Hot 100 with his single, 'Noble'. The following month, he performed a headline show at the Green Room in The Academy, Dublin.

Hot Press included him on our Hot for 2026 list, saying:

"F3miii has built a reputation as one of the most interesting voices on Ireland's alternative R&B scene, thanks to his brilliantly infectious rhythms."
