Every year thousands of musicians enter NPR's Tiny Desk Contest. This year's winner was announced Wednesday — an artist called The Philharmonik, with a song called "What's It All Mean?"
"I don't think it's caught up to me yet — how much my life has changed." While on the road, Little Moon's Emma Hardyman caught up with NPR to reflect on the life-changing win.
NPR's video team recently caught up with Amador in Brooklyn to hear how her life has changed since finding out she'd won our Tiny Desk Contest. This is her journey.
Entries to the Tiny Desk Contest tend to be incredibly creative and fun — maybe none more so this year than an entry from the singer-songwriter Lillian Frances.
Choosing one winner from all the incredible entries NPR Music receives each year is no small feat — but this year, one songwriter gave a captivating performance that rose to the top.
In the second episode of Tiny Desk Contest Top Shelf, judges Michelle Zauner and iLe share entries that feature remarkable guitarists, songs sung in Spanish, a "mind-blowing" bassist and more.
