This is a '''list of new-age music artists''' with articles on Wikipedia.

[[New-age music]] is broadly defined as relaxing, even "meditative", music that is primarily instrumental. Unlike relaxing forms of classical music, new-age music makes greater use of electronica and non-Western instrumentation. There is some debate on what can be considered "new-age music"; for example several musicians in [[Celtic music]] or [[Smooth jazz]] have expressed annoyance at being labeled "new-age musicians". For more on that debate, see the article on [[new-age music]]. In addition, several musicians object to the label because they fear it implies a connection to the [[New Age]] movement.
