Every year, American magazine and global media company Forbes puts out a list called “30 under 30,” which features and recognizes 30 people under the age of 30 who are making notable and impressionable strides in their category. This year 600 people are being honored for their work, talent, and projected future contributions. Some of the categories include Art & Style, Consumer Technology, Sports, and of course, Music. Those judging this year’s list for music include 21 Savage (musician), Adriana Arce (manager), The Chainsmokers (musicians), and Mickey Shiloh (song-writer). The list for 2020 contains many talented, passionate, and unique innovators who are making considerable contributions to the music industry and are expected to continue to have successful impacts throughout next year.

Topping charts and shifting culture, Illenium was honored on the list as an electronic musician, and at the ripe age of 28, his possibilities are endless. Sharing this list with other well-deserving candidates such as Jon Bellion, Lauv, Lil Nas X, and Tyler, the Creator, Illenium certainly earned this spotlight on all of his hard work.
