Having traversed the globe with previous stops including Berlin, Toronto, London, Madrid, Melbourne and Cape Town, among others, the Red Bull Music Academy is excited to be landing in New York for 2012. Music makers of all styles, methodologies and levels of experience are invited to apply until Monday 2 April 2012, for what will be a once in a lifetime opportunity.
One of the most iconic cities on the planet, NYC has been immortalized in the pantheon of music - incubating genres like hip hop, disco, house, bop, no-wave and post-punk. NYC is inspiration central: a place where people from all nations collide, bringing music, culture and attitude with them. Music is everywhere, from cars cruising the block banging hip hop mix shows to the indie rock stars of tomorrow mashing drums in East Village practice spaces. Boomboxes blasting Willie Colón soundtrack outdoor domino games, and hipster troubadours play fiddles in the subway while kids shout the words to the latest A$AP Rocky single down the train aisles. After all, nothing's equivalent to the New York state of mind.
The Red Bull Music Academy is excited to become part of this sonic kaleidoscope this fall. From Sunday 30 September through Friday 2 November 2012, the world-travelling music lab and festival will set up shop in the city for five weeks' worth of workshops, concerts, club nights, and all-round musical extravaganzas held all across the boroughs.
Producers, vocalists, instrumentalists and DJs across all genres who will be at least 21 years of age by Sunday 30 September 2012 are eligible to take part and can download an application form from http://www.redbullmusicacademy.com/ and send it off with a selection of their tunes before Monday 2 April 2012.
