Each year, we ask unsigned artists from across the country to send us their songs as part of the Tiny Desk Contest. And each year, one artist wins the grand prize and gets to play their very own Tiny Desk concert.
But winning isn t everything; NPR Music is introduced to
thousands of talented musicians who send us videos of themselves playing their original songs behind their desks. We do our best to share the most impressive entries NPR Music staff favorites; Contest judges favorites; public radio s favorites and more with the world. In the past, we ve taken our winner on tour across the country and invited standout entrants to open for them. Sometimes, Bob Boilen is so blown away by an artist that, after seeing their performance, he invites them to play a set behind his Tiny Desk, too.
