If You Liked This Artist, Try…

Another part of our “If you liked this, try that” series! So far, we recced you books and movies this way. And now it’s time for music!

I chose ten pretty popular musicians and for each one, based on their most distinct traits, I tried to recommend you 3 less popular artists. Of course, everyone I encourage you to listen to in this post is a member of the LGBT community.

Happy Pride, guys! Discover some new music!
