<a href=”https://www.npr.org/people/302983377/bobby-carter”>Bobby Carter</a> was part of a major shift for NPR Music’s Tiny Desk Concerts. The St. Louis native (and Riverview Gardens High School alum) emphasized diversity in music genre and representation of race and gender for the viral video series which has gained nearly 11 million subscribers on <a href=”https://www.youtube.com/@nprmusic/featured”>NPR Music’s YouTube</a> channel alone. On this episode of St. Louis on the Air, Carter, who serves as Tiny Desk’s host, producer and judge for their annual contest shared his music career journey and upbringing in St. Louis with host Elaine Cha.
