After the success of Nexa Season 1 the second season of NEXA Music is reaching higher levels. The chosen artists will have the opportunity to compose original English compositions of the global Standard under the guidance and mentorship of notable musicians and will be able to share them globally. Now that the 24 artists have been shortlisted, I wish each participant the best of luck!
