Let's make this birthday one to remember.

40 years old (Born on October 18, 1984)

Happy Birthday, Esperanza Spalding! May your day be filled with as much groove and rhythm as you effortlessly bring to every stage. From winning Grammy Awards to captivating audiences worldwide with your soulful voice and mesmerizing bass lines, you've proven that jazz isn't just music—it's magic.

Whether you're dazzling us by blending genres or inspiring countless aspiring musicians through innovative projects like "Songwrights Apothecary Lab," you always hit the perfect note. Here's hoping this year brings even more unforgettable melodies, spontaneous improvisations, and perhaps another hairstyle that's almost (but not quite) as iconic as your talent!

Keep swinging strong!
