Ezinma - Beyoncé's violinist tackling Beethoven and Future

Classically trained violinist Ezinma played with Kendrick Lamar, SZA and Mac Miller, as well as with Beyoncé at her historic Coachella set, but her solo career really took off when she filmed herself playing along to Future's 'Mask Off'. The video went viral and landed Ezinma a deal with Decca Records, who recently released her debut EP, 'Classical Bae' - which puts a new spin on Beethoven's 'Fifth Symphony' and Bach's 'G Major Prelude', amongst others. BBC talked to the musician.
