Known by her stage name 'Caramel', this creator from Indonesia has been active in the livestreaming world for six years. She experienced her biggest turning point on TikTok, which she considers a 'major turning moment' in her career as a musician. Through music competitions held by TikTok LIVE such as SEA Music Master and Gimme The Mic Global, Caramel's profile has become more recognized by the public, paving the way for her to release two original songs.

Since childhood, the Mexican singer, Anyelique Solorio, has captivated many hearts with her melodious voice — from winning various singing competitions at the city level to becoming a finalist in La Voz Mexico 2022. Last year, the 19-year-old singer also began showcasing her singing skills through live broadcasts on TikTok LIVE. Her charming performances helped her quickly build a loyal fan community, which she calls 'team estrellita'.

Thanks to her fans' support, Anyelique has performed on international stages, held her debut concert, and had the opportunity to interview several renowned musicians at various major music festivals. Anyelique's victory in the Music On Stage competition was a significant milestone in her career as a singer, and it serves as motivation for her to continue representing Mexico on the world stage.

These two champions will continue their journey as new stars with support from SoundOn, TikTok's music distribution platform. Both will also perform live at TikTok LIVE Fest 2026 alongside several renowned musicians who have carved their careers through TikTok.
