[DISCUSSION] NPR Music's Tiny Desk Contest is back! This year, the Contest is open to U.S. musicians 18 and older nprclara

Hey folks! My name is Clara and I want to tell you all about the Tiny Desk Contest

NPR Music has hosted over 800 concerts at Bob Boilen’s Tiny Desk at NPR HQ in Washington, D.C.. We've invited a variety of artists and bands to perform here -- like Maggie Rogers, Wu-Tang Clan and Yo-Yo Ma. We’ve hosted the Tiny Desk Contest each year since 2015 to find a great undiscovered artist to perform at the Tiny Desk. We’ve had four fantastic Contest winners: Naia Izumi, who signed to Sony Masterworks; Tank And The Bangas, who played Coachella last year; Gaelynn Lea who has gone on to tour the world; and Fantastic Negrito, who just won his second Grammy!
If you are a musician and want to play a Tiny Desk concert and go on tour across the country with NPR Music, enter the Tiny Desk Contest today.
