Its important to have an appreciation for all kinds of music if you really want to create something new and original, not to mention beautiful, and Kabeer embodies all of those traits.” After Feb. 11, a panel of judges will review the top 50 artists and the top 10 finalists get invited to perform in a live competition at the school’s campus in L.A.
