Be famous - NPR Tiny Desk Contest
Tiny Desk Contest
I'm not lyin. Well, I am, but I'm not lying.
NPR is looking for unsigned artists. This could be you. You do a video of yourself performing a song you wrote, while at a desk. That's it. They want new, unsigned talent.
Check it out.
Announcement at reddit.com:
****************************************
NPR Music's Tiny Desk concert series has hosted almost 500 concerts in our office. Shakey Graves, The National, John Legend, Adele, and, of course, T-Pain without Auto-Tune. We hosted the first Tiny Desk Contest last year to find an undiscovered artist to play our Tiny Desk and to give national exposure to great overlooked musicians. We were overwhelmed with all the amazing undiscovered talent we saw (a lot of which came from reddit!).
We're doing it again right now. And starting today you can submit your video.
I thought I'd see if anyone here was an unsigned artist (or knew a great unsigned artist) interested in entering. The contest is open to all genres, and we want to hear musicians from all over the states. Following the concert, the winner will go on a short U.S. tour with NPR Music and our co-sponsor Lagunitas. You can enter anytime between today and February 2nd, 2016!
Here’s how you enter:
Create a new video of you/your band playing one song you’ve written.
Perform it at a desk (of any size, shape or type!)
Upload it to YouTube and fill out the entry form at npr.org/tinydeskcontest before it closes on Feb. 2, 2016!
There are just a few requirements:
Since this is about undiscovered talent, you can’t have a current recording contract
You must be at least 21 years old and a U.S. resident.
Official Rules here
This contest is about bringing together the community of all the overlooked and budding artists in this country. We're honored to be sharing it with all of you in the Reddit musical community.
If you have any questions, you can comment here or email us. Don't post your videos here though — if you submit them through the site, we'll watch them all. Thanks so much, and happy music-making!
