Ezinma: Violinist

Ezinma is a classically-trained violinist, composer, and model, who’s captured the hearts of thousands through her genre-bending covers that have gone viral. Known on Instagram as “Classical Bae,” Ezinma’s sound combines her classical background with the beat of today’s greatest hits, and can often be found sharing her sound on the streets of New York or with her electric violin in a nightclub. Ezinma got her big break when she received a message on Facebook from Beyoncé’s musical director to join the singer on stage at Barclay’s Center. She then joined Beyoncé on tour for three years, and went on to also collaborate with incredible talent like Stevie Wonder, Kendrick Lamar, and Jorja Smith. Today, Ezinma is a solo artist with a mission to defy the “classical violinist” stereotype. She recently signed to Universal Classics and plans to release her debut project, “Beethoven Pleads The Fifth,” in Summer of 2020. In this episode, Ezinma tells us about her upbringing in Nebraska and being labeled an “orch dork,” what it was like to work alongside Beyonce and manifest your own dreams, and how she plans to break musical boundaries and disrupt the classical industry with her first album.   Produced by Dear MediaLet’s Get DressedYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@livvperezInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/letsgetdressedpod/Newsletter: https://substack.com/@livvperezLiv Perez Instagram: www.instagram.com/livvperezTikTok: www.tiktok.com/livv.perezShopMy: https://shopmy.us/livvperez Hosted on Acast.
