Esperanza Spalding on Jimmy Kimmel Live

Esperanza Spalding was a guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night. Jimmy first interviewed her and asked her what she did after winning her Grammy Award for "Best New Artist", her reaction to Bieber fans, she also discussed how she got into music at a very early age and the instruments she's learned to master over the years.


Esperanza also talked about the four times she played at the White House. While some artists might get nervous meeting President Obama, she was too enamored by musicians in the front row to let her nerves get the best of her.


“He’s very kind and was very gracious,” she explained. “I shook his hand, said hello, tried not to get all googly. Just very gracious. And also, the first time I played for them, Paul Simon was there and Herbie Hancock was there and Stevie Wonder was there. So I sort of was preoccupied with the front row lineup and didn’t have time to be nervous with him or anything.”
