World-known musician has created his own unique style by blending elements of different genres and traditional music from around the globe in a new way using his cello as the main unifying force. He uses the loop pedal and other electronic devices to augment the sound of the cello and turn it into a virtual orchestra. Ian Maksin sings pop and traditional songs from around the globe in more than thirty languages and writes his own originals in at least four. He has released several albums of original music for cello inspired by his world travels and collaborations with native musicians.
