TED stands for 'Technology, Entertainment and Design' and hosted its first conference back in 1984. Nowadays it is a worldwide phenomenon where artists like drummer Clayton Cameron (watch his talk below), percussionist Anandan Sivamani, Mark Ronson and Herbie Hancock have made big impressions during their 15-minute TEDx talks.

"Pretty freaking excited to be giving my first TED Talk later this month in Riverside CA. My speech will be "The Art of Delivering Information" and I would love to see some familiar faces in the crowd. If you live anywhere near So Cal and want to join me for a day of inspiration here is where you can get tickets."
