TOKiMONSTA: LA's Queen of Blissed-Out Beats

If there’s one thing TOKiMONSTA taught us since attending the 2010 Academy as a participant, it’s that she’s never one to settle. Linking up Flying Lotus and the mighty Brainfeeder empire has led to a fruitful musical relationship with the LA electronic music scene, and her latest album featured collaborations with R&amp;B and rap vocalists like Joey Purp and Isaiah Rashad. In her 2014 Red Bull Music Academy lecture, she went in-depth about getting her start, working with Anderson .Paak, and more.

Couch Wisdom is a weekly podcast presenting the best of Red Bull Music Academy’s lecture archive.

Red Bull Music Academy is a world-traveling series of festivals and workshops est. in 1998.
