Episode 11: Ezinma
b'Ezinma (eh-zee-mah) first picked up the violin when she was three-years old. Born in Lincoln, Nebraska to a Guyanese father and a German-American mother, her\\u2019s mixed cultural and ethnic background influenced her musical upbringing and helped mold her into the versatile artist she is today.\\n \\nEzinma\\u2019s style cannot be limited to one genre. Her music is a blend of virtuosic melodies and orchestral soundscapes with hard hitting beats. This fusion, this juxtaposition of seemingly unrelated worlds, allows her to connect with diverse audiences and communicate her passion in a way that is uniquely her own. Ezinma has collaborated with jazz, R&B, pop, hip-hop and electronic artists such as Beyonce, Stevie Wonder, Mac Miller, and Clean Bandit.\\n\\nNotes:\\nIntro music: Give It Up Produced by Velocity Music\\n2:00 Early beginnings\\n7:00 Social media beginnings\\n8:20 First viral video\\n10:50 - Mask Off Challenge by Ezinma - from her Instagram page\\n11:50 - Beyonce calls\\n15:10 - Stevie Wonder show\\n17:00 - Gig life in NYC\\n23:00 - Despacito - from her Instagram page\\n24:00 - Career vision\\n26:40 - Classical player learns how to improv\\n30:00 - Teaching styles\\n32:10 - Did U See - J Hus\\n33:20 - Ezinma\\u2019s electric violin\\n36:45 - Unforgettable Dance Challenge - Ezinma\\n37:15 - CodaBow info\\n39:30 - Collaborations\\n42:40 - Kendrick Lamar video\\n44:15 - Authenticity in music - #onetakeandpost\\n49:05 - Practice routine\\n51:50 - Contact info\\nOutro music - Give It Up Produced by Velocity Music'
