Tune in to see Nilüfer Yanya, J.I.D, Bohan Phoenix and Anderson .Paak.
The iconic global brand Vans doesn’t need any introduction. It’s not only a leading sports action label though but also, the organizer of Vans Musicians Wanted. The inclusive, international initiative enables creative self-expression through music, global exposure of undiscovered artists and the opportunity to perform for the worldwide audience. Originally created by Vans’ Asia-Pacific region in 2015, it’s been introduced as a digital platform this year, open to all musicians and genres around the world. It received over 22,000 submissions.
The stream of global concert, scheduled for December 9, will include top-5 finalists from each region. Even a short glance at the list of performers shows the diversity and inclusivity of Vans Musicians Wanted.
