HAUSER

From the moment he decided to create a new musical experience, blending the long-established traditions of classical, pop, and rock music, HAUSER has been performing in arena concerts worldwide, defying the conventions of the established music industry. His iconic rendition of Michael Jackson’s “Smooth Criminal” not only launched him as an internet sensation but also established him as a founding member of the duo 2Cellos. This performance captured the hearts and minds of millions, cementing HAUSER as one of the world’s most significant twenty-first-century instrumentalists.

HAUSER’s performance style can best be described as electric, a unique blend of cello pyrotechnics that combines beauty, elegance, and true rock muscle. His repertoire is as wide and expansive as the distance between Lady Gaga and Tchaikovsky or Shakira and Shostakovich. HAUSER is the dynamic cellist performing all of it and taking the world by storm - after all, how many classically trained cellists can say they have toured with Elton John?

HAUSER is a study in contrasts; he is as comfortable with classical music as he is with pop music, and possesses an uncommon and near encyclopedic knowledge of both. As part of the quintessential 2Cellos, HAUSER has toured the world - from the Royal Albert Hall and the Sydney Opera House to New York’s Madison Square Garden, selling more than one million tickets to their live shows. During the Christmas 2021 season, he had the great honor of performing for Pope Francis, but he has also given performances to several American Presidents, Prince Charles, and Queen Elizabeth. His virtuosic and soulful playing style has been recognized with no fewer than 21 first prizes in the world’s most prestigious national and international music competitions. Remarkably, HAUSER’s greatest talent is said to be his singular ability to communicate contrasting styles and emotional themes; the essences of love, romance, sensuality, and even a rocking dance style, all through the body of his cello.

HAUSER’s innate musical flexibility has led to a wide range of collaborations with many artistic legends, including Andrea Bocelli, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, George Michael, and Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler. However, it is his personal, visually stunning YouTube series, “Alone Together,” launched during the 2020 pandemic featuring musical portraits of his home country, Croatia, that stunned audiences with its sheer beauty and landed his very first solo album, “HAUSER - CLASSIC,” at #1 on the Billboard chart.

A frequent guest on television’s top-rated morning and evening programs worldwide, HAUSER/2Cellos performed at the 2018 UEFA Champions League Final and appeared with Lang Lang on CCTV for their New Year’s Eve Gala. Notably, 2Cellos was the first instrumental act to ever perform on GLEE as a special guest during the Michael Jackson tribute episode. This appearance landed the 2CELLOS’ self-titled debut album in the Billboard Top 100 and “Smooth Criminal” a #10 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 Digital Songs Chart. The success of HAUSER extends far beyond his many millions of social media followers, with a devoted international fan base that continues to grow. With more than a billion audio streams across the globe and more than 4 billion views, the Croatian cellist is a phenomenon that is one part virtuoso and the other, sheer animal magnetism. For HAUSER’s fans, perhaps it is simply his ability to unify generations of music lovers.

HAUSER. He is a rockstar with a cello…and this is only the beginning.
