NPR Music’s Tiny Desk Contest is heading back on the road! Join us this summer as we travel to 10 cities for a one-of-a-kind concert. New this year, each stop will feature a different surprise Tiny Desk alum headliner, plus the 2025 Contest winner, Ruby Ibarra, and an up-and-coming artist from each city.
Hailing from the Bay Area, Ruby Ibarra is a rapper, spoken word artist and director with a commanding presence. Her winning Tiny Desk Contest entry, “Bakunawa,” which was inspired by the birth of her first child and Philippine mythology, is an intergenerational collaboration with Filipina artists that spans both genres and languages.
Mareux is the decade long electronic solo project from LA based musician and producer Aryan Ashtiani that has sparked an international cult following. His often romantic brand of darkwave, and songs like “The Perfect Girl,” have signaled a cultural paradigm shift across the online world that has united people across diverse subcultures. In describing Mareux’s sound, reviewer Fabrizio Lusso puts it best, “Mareux‘s moody and strongly emotional electronic laden lo-fi approach straddles the line between synth-pop, coldwave and post-punk in a stunning and infectious blend of thick glacial beats, lustrous synth stabs, sparse droning elements, vigorous bleak bass pulsations and a superb passionate voice, flavored by a mournful shadowy-goth feel, a seductive 80s flair, and sometimes subtle groovy r&b inflection.”
