5. Meghan Trainor
Meghan Trainor used to be a songwriter before she gathered up the courage to record one of her own tracks which was quite a hit – “All About That Bass” – in 2014. This track was followed by others and she’s gotten more and more famous ever since, launching videos and getting nominated for various awards. She won an ASCAP Pop Music Award, two Billboard Music Awards, as well as a YouTube Music Award. More satisfying, perhaps, were the three Grammy nominations she received.
