Elf Kid, Jamal Woon and Shakka are among the artists performing at PRS for Music Foundation and BBC Introducing 1Xtra showcase at SXSW.

Curated by 1Xtra DJs Charlie Sloth, DJ Target and Mistajam, the artists will perform on Friday 18 March as part of the 2016 festival at a secret location.

According to BBC Introducing: ‘the 1Xtra presenters have curated a line-up with the newest, hottest talent from the UK's genre spanning urban music scene – as well as some exciting special guest performances.’

Elf Kid is one of the more exciting young grime MCs to emerge over the last 12 months, with his Amerie-sampling single Golden Boy all over BBC Radio 1.

All three presenters will be broadcasting live from the event with a six hour long special straight from Downtown Austin on Saturday 20 March from 7pm UK time.

The full line up of artists is Elf Kid, Folly Rae, Jamal Woon, Leo Kalyan plus special guests J P Cooper and Shakka.
