Brooklyn Duo
Brooklyn Duo is an American classical crossover ensemble from Brooklyn, New York, consisting of Marnie Laird on piano and Patrick Laird on cello. Brooklyn Duo was founded in 2014 when the married couple posted two cover videos on YouTube, one of which was a cover of "Empire" by Shakira. Shakira noticed the video and mentioned it in a tweet, saying, "We're loving Brooklyn Duo's piano/cello cover of #Empire! Great work guys." Because of this exposure and the positive response they were getting on YouTube, Brooklyn Duo continued to release instrumental cello and piano arrangements of popular songs and were able to grow a large fanbase on YouTube and other platforms. They now have more than 1.5 million subscribers on YouTube and over 740,000 monthly listeners on Spotify
