Zoe Keating Shares Spotify, Streaming Earnings 2018
Cellist and composer Zoe Keating has won legions of fans with recordings and performances that use live sampling to create a rhythmically and sonically dense, almost otherworldly sound. To her fellow independent artists, she's also an inspiration and a thought leader.
