Both excellent picks. I think @luzcypher is another excellent suggestion as that account is actively pouring through the #openmic submissions and providing a highly relevant curation trail (as @meno pointed out in his latest post.) The @dsound account is also extremely actively curating content with a combination of bot driven combing and human review. They are killing it.
Musician-wise there are tons emerging every day, but special shoutouts to steemit producers @harrisonmir, @granturismo89, @juliakponsford, and @heymattsokol for putting legwork helping people new to the community in addition to being great artists themselves, which is pretty much essence of being awesome at Steemit IMHO.
slight typo there @heymattsokol is the username :-)
Goddamn it dude I even went and looked it up. Fail.
Corrected of course.
