The Philharmonik, 2024 Tiny Desk Contest Winner: Tiny Desk Concert Hotney 9 Streams • 2 years ago

Elle Mannion | May 29, 2024
While each Tiny Desk concert is special in its own way, we only publish one annually from a Tiny Desk Contest winner. This year, that winner is The Philharmonik — an up-and-coming multi-genre artist from Sacramento, Calif. — whose entry rose to the top of nearly 7,000 entries submitted by independent artists.

In that entry, singer Christian Gates and his band proved they knew how to make a song shine behind a desk, performing in an office setting in business casual attire. They keep up the act at the Tiny Desk, with Gates cosplaying as the team’s boss; he showcases his expressive stage presence and expansive musical range all while sitting in a swiveling office chair.

The group kicks off its celebratory set with its winning song, “What’s It All Mean?” Then, Gates shifts to the upright piano to perform “Drugs,” a theatrical song he says “is for all of those who have thought about doing alternative things because the paycheck was not enough.” He returns to the keyboard for “Chasing…” before flexing his rap abilities on “Colors.” The Philharmonik closes with the catchy “Pay Me,” a song I’m sure plenty of disgruntled workers will want to sing to their bosses after watching this concert.

Although Gates’ life has changed overnight since winning the Contest, he stays humble throughout his set, continually crediting his team’s hard work. “This office is a group effort, and this is just another day at the office,” he says.

LYRICS:
it could always be worse
it’s not like he’s a criminal
I know I’m not his first
in my bed, he’s incredible

when I’m cold, he wraps me in his arms
and I’m under his control
and it almost stops my heart

He’s the one, he’s the one, he’s the one
I’m in love with the reaper
He’s the one, he’s the one, the only one I want
He’s a keeper
Ooh oh, I’m in love
Ooh oh, I’m in love
Ooh oh, I’m in love
Ooh oh, I’m in love with the reaper

it’s not easy to find something dependable
I don’t care that he thinks my life is expendable
at least he’s reliable

when I’m cold, he wraps me in his arms
and I’m under his control
and it almost stops my heart

He’s the one, he’s the one, he’s the one
I’m in love with the reaper
He’s the one, he’s the one, the only one I want
He’s a keeper
Ooh oh, I’m in love
Ooh oh, I’m in love
Ooh oh, I’m in love
Ooh oh, I’m in love with the reaper
