Croatian duo Luka Šulić and Stjepan Hauser rework rock anthems into something entirely their own.
If you want to hear what they do best, start with "Smooth Criminal" or their take on "Where The Streets Have No Name." Both show how they can reshape a familiar song into something that feels like theirs.
They first caught attention with a YouTube cover of AC/DC's "Thunderstruck" that went viral in 2011, showing what two cellos could do with rock music. Their version of "Smooth Criminal" takes Michael Jackson's original and strips it down to something raw and driving. They've built an audience that includes both classical and rock listeners, which isn't something you see every day.
Both cellists studied at the Royal Academy of Music in London before forming the duo. Their debut album "2CELLOS" reached number one on Billboard's Classical Crossover chart. They've since recorded with Elton John on "Oh Well" and worked with Italian singer Zucchero.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
