I would love to hear her play Kanye's The Coldest Winter :wow::mjcry:

I think in a vid somewhere it says shes worked with Kanye already (she said he wasn't arrogant)

She's apparently worked with Drake, Justin Beiber, Ciara, Big KRIT, and i'm sure plenty more.

It was like I was trying to tell cats about how producers (even Hans Zimmer) outsource for certain instruments and sounds just like certain artists do for writers...

But anyway, yeah, she's apprently been in hiphop for a minute

““When she grabs the Cello, it’s like a sword. She becomes the Wonder Woman
— Hans Zimmer (Batman V Superman)


““Billy Corgan assumed the role of guitar player on most of the songs on Nobody’s Daughter and penned the main riff for Samantha. However for the final recording, Love replaced Corgan’s guitar with cello. Courtney Love told RS magazine: ‘The cello that you hear is a really hot Chinese girl with an amazing rack and insanely good hair who is a heavy metal goddess on cello, Tina Guo.’”
— Rolling Stone (Italy)


““She may not have grown up on Themyscira, but we’re pretty sure Tina Guo has the soul of an Amazon.”
— DC Comics


““Saying that Tina is a talented musician is an understatement... utterly speechless and amazed. A musical prodigy.”
— All Access Magazine


““The notion of melding classical music with heavy metal is far from an alien one. That being said, it’s rare to see classical being given a heavy metal makeover in quite so emphatic a fashion as with the work of Tina Guo (...) an international sensation.”

Her arrangement and performance of "The Flight of the Bumble-Bee" was featured in the end credits for The Heartbreak Kid and she was an additional composer on the feature film Persecuted. The Tina Guo Sample Library by Cinesamples is one of the most popular cello solo libraries available on the market today, used by composers and producers in countless media music projects.

Guo has recorded on hundreds of albums, with artists such as John Legend, Ciara, David Archuleta, and Big K.R.I.T. She was featured on Al B. Sure!'s new single, "I Love It," from his upcoming album Honey I'm Home and was also featured on Two Steps From Hell's album SkyWorld.

Yeah, I been known about her for a while, her body and body of work is crazy and from her interviews and colleagues she worked with, she is down to Earth.

As a musician myself, her work ethic is unbelievable, but traditional artists have to be in today's age....

I've damn near listened to everything she's done and didn't even know it.
