Living in a small town in Croatia, 24-year-old music students, Luka Sulic and Stjepan Hauser, are living a dream come true – and quickly! 2CELLOS (SULIC & HAUSER) features their unique spin on hits by GUNS N’ ROSES, NIRVANA, U2, COLDPLAY and MICHAEL JACKSON.
The duo just released a second single and music video to Guns N’ Roses classic 'Welcome To The Jungle' and like their first video, it is spreading quickly, getting over one million views in the first week!
Of the new single Hauser says: “Covering ‘Welcome To The Jungle’ was a real challenge but that one we were up for! We chose this song because we thought that it could sound like a whole symphony using only our two cellos. We’re really proud of it and think it rocks!”

After posting a self-made music video of them performing Michael Jackson's 'Smooth Criminal'on their cellos, the longtime friends received more attention than they ever expected. Within days, the video became a viral sensation and received millions of views. It got the attention of Sony Classical who signed them to a record deal. Concurrently, they received a phone call from legend ELTON JOHN who invited them to join him on his European tour this Summer and Fall. They recently made their US TV debut on The Ellen DeGeneres Show where they performed 'Smooth Criminal'.
