“I Know You Know” Esperanza Spalding, Right?
“So, pursuing all aspects of my creative self, and continually living each moment that will ultimately contribute to my legacy is what drives me.” – Esperanza Spalding, Nu Soul Magazine
We’ve been seeing a lot of young people evolving into successful young adults and really displaying alternative ways in which they can express themselves. Although a lot of young people love hip-hop, fashion and sports, it’s always refreshing to see unique paths taken. Esperanza Spalding, a 24-year-old native “Portland Trail Blazer” known for playing the bass and creating soulful jazz inspired sounds (that remind you of the Atlantic coastlines in Central America), is making her way to through the universe with Banana Republic ad campaigns, appearances on popular Late Night Shows and concert dates that flood into December 2009. She’s young, she’s talented and she’s someone you should check for. Thanks to Q-Tip and Twitter, I was exposed to Esperanza Spalding. Check out the video he posted:

Watching that clip, made me wonder why I have songs from Ashanti in my music collection. Pure talent. Sadly I missed her performance last week at Central Park Summerstage.
