[2] She was living with the avant-garde Squat Theatre troupe in New York City, founded by her father, when she first met Jean-Michel Basquiat.

[3] In 1983, Balint was brought into the studio by Basquiat to play violin on the influential hip-hop record "Beat Bop" by Rammellzee and K-Rob.

Josh Jackson wrote: "Paste named Eszter Balint an artist to watch back in 2004 after she released her second album Mud.

And while she stepped back from music to focus on parenting soon after, she's delivered on that promise with this year's long-awaited follow-up Airless Midnight, which comes on the heels of a recurring role as a Louis C.K.

[13] Balint has also been in the news for criticizing the rampant commercialization of Basquiat's work and image, telling The New York Post, “This kind of flattening and fetishizing takes people further away from the art.” [14]
