My relationship with music is a pretty active one. I’ve been a club DJ for a little under 9 years (it’s more of an expensive hobby rather than a separate career), so it’s important for me keep up on new (and discovering old) music. Which is how I happen to have come across the Red Bull Music Academy (RBMA) back in the early 2000’s.
Red Bull’s creation and support of the RBMA has become a example of the cultural patronage by a brand within youth and creative culture, with the Academy evolving its “platform for those who shape our musical future” into the social realm.
