Two young Croatians, Luka Sulic and Stjepan Hauser,
shattered the traditional perceptions of cello playing,
by exploding onto youtube with their unique version of
Michael Jackson’s Smooth Criminal. Within a week the
video became a viral sensation, and lead to a record deal
with Sony Masterworks, and an invitation to tour with
Elton John on his worldwide tour.
Since then, they have performed with the Red Hot Chili
Peppers, George Michael, and Leona Lewis, and released
their second album IN2ITION in January 2013.
The album was produced by the legendary Bob Ezrin
(Pink Floyd, Alice Cooper, Kiss, Deep Purple) and features
an eclectic group of vocal and instrumental guests
including Elton John, Steve Vai, Lang Lang, Naya Rivera
and Zucherro. and takes the cello to a new level, breaking
the boundaries between different genres of music.
“…Go and see them live, because it r eally is astonishing!
I can’t remember seeing
anything as exciting as them
since I saw Jimi Hendrix live
back in the 60’s…”
Elton John
