RBMA Announces the Complete List of Participants for Its 2014 Edition in Tokyo

Earlier this week, the folks at Red Bull Music Academy ended months of speculation and began notifying the thousands of artists who applied for this year’s Academy in Tokyo whether or not they had been accepted. Although more than 6000 artists hoped to get in, only 60 were selected, and today, RBMA unveiled the complete list of this year’s participants to the public. Those chosen represent 34 different countries and a wide variety of musical styles. Some of the names will surely be familiar to regular XLR8R readers, while others may be entirely unknown to everyone except their closest friends. This year’s Academy will take place from October 12 to November 14, and will once again be broken into a pair of two-week sessions with 30 participants each. All 60 participants have been listed below, along with a link where readers can discover more of their music.
