Since she picked up the violin at age five, Esperanza Spalding has been intoxicating listeners with her expressive yet technically impeccable vocals, an innate talent for perfecting any instrument she puts her mind to and boundless creativity. Since 2011, she has put out a number of albums showcasing her range, from the classical strings experiment _Chamber Music Society_ to an alter-ego exploration _Emily's D+Evolution_, not to mention _Exposure_, a livestreamed 77-hour recording released as a limited edition. Late last year, the Berklee-educated, multi-Grammy-winning musician released _12 Little Spells_, an album that explores the mysticism of the human body and the power of healing — it is accompanied by visuals that highlight specific body parts. In her Fireside Chat, Spalding expounds on reiki's healing properties, the science of music and the importance of collaboration.
