At the heart of 2B1 is a musical partnership built on two decades of shared harmony, friendship, and connection. Esterina Finocchiaro and Rudy Mayes create music that reflects who they are: warm, expressive, genuine, and deeply rooted in their unique life experiences.
Their signature sound blends Rudy’s rich, resonant baritone with Esterina’s sweet, soaring vocals, shaped by years of performing side-by-side. Accompanied by piano and thoughtfully crafted tracks, 2B1 brings the depth of a full ensemble while maintaining the closeness and simplicity that define their relationship on and off the stage.
There’s a quiet glow at the center of 2B1’s sound, something that comes from who they are, not just what they play. Their chemistry, sense of joy, and natural ease with one another infuse every performance with authenticity. With a shared repertoire of over 500 songs and influences spanning jazz, R&B, pop, and rock’n’roll, the duo draws from a lifetime of musical passion and personal history.
Whether you’ve followed them for years or are discovering them for the first time, 2B1 invites you into their world, one shaped by harmony, heart, and a love of music that continues to grow.
