Alright, we're back with inspirational cellists. This one's my personal favorite. His name's Sheku, Conor Mason. I probably said that wrong. Anyways, another Brutus cellist. He's super cool and inspirational to me because he was at a young age, 20, and he starts getting really famous on the cello. He performs at the royal wedding. We don't like this royal couple anymore. It doesn't matter. But he played really well. And I like him because he likes to play for his roots. So how do I explain this? He does Bob Marley but classical on the cello because he has roots, Jamaican roots. But he also has Welsh roots. So he does Mithonwi and these other songs that are Welsh. He's just super cool and an inspiration to the young generation.

Alright, one second, I'm pulling up a picture of this lady. Her name is Jacqueline Dupre. This girl right here. She's so cool. So she was a cellist from England, even though her name looks French. It is French. Well, anyways, the best in the world, right, of her time. And she was like 20-something when she was like in her peak. And then she starts playing with this pianist, this composer, this guy right here. That's fine. They get married. They're super cool. They start touring the world. Composer, cellist, he conducted and stuff. She gets this illness where she loses fingers and feeling in her fingers and was unable to play the cello at her peak of her career. And she dies a couple years later.
