The Potash Twins

. Born on October 18, 1993, the twins grew up in Omaha, Nebraska, attended Westside High School, and were a part of the award-winning Westside Concert Jazz Band. Their father was a director of the Anti-Defamation League Texas and later the CEO of the Jewish Federation of Omaha. They took an early interest in food thanks to their mother, who traveled abroad for work. == Music career ==

While in Omaha, Ezra and Adeev performed for Warren Buffett and were asked to perform on several occasions for his Berkshire Hathaway Shareholders meeting with the Westside Jazz Combo. The twins were discovered by Wynton Marsalis in Lincoln, Nebraska, in 2008 and helped them apply to music conservatories in New York City. In 2012, the duo's first album, Twintuition, was released on Amazon, iTunes and Spotify. Two years later, the twins were nominated for Best Jazz for the Omaha Entertainment and Arts Awards. In 2015, their second and eponymous album The Potash Twins, reached #9 on the iTunes Jazz chart. Their 2019 single Snap! featured the pianist Robert Glasper and singer Grace Weber. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Potash Twins decided to settle down in Palm Springs, California to finish their latest album. With Hornography, which means study of horn music, released in 2022, the Potash Twins try to answer the question where do horns fit. They decided to incorporate spoken word moments on their music from some of their mentors Terry Crews, chef Andrew Zimmern, Vanderpump Rules actress Katie Maloney, Bob Saget, and also musically features Grammy Award winners Robert Glasper, Cory Wong, and Jazz Cartier. Bob Saget recorded his part before his death at age 65 in January. In 2018, Adeev and Ezra had a family member diagnosed with the autoimmune disease scleroderma. It is the same disease that took the life of Saget's older sister Gay in 1994. Saget helped them during this period. A portion of the album proceeds are going to the Scleroderma Research Foundation in his honor. == Television career ==
