Black Violin Booking Profile

To most people, jazz, hip-hop, funk, and classical are musical genres. But to revolutionary music group Black Violin, they’re nothing but ingredients. Combining a daunting array of musical styles and influences to produce a signature sound that is not quite maestro, not quite emcee, this duo of two classically trained violinists and their DJ is redefining the music world—one string at a time. With influences ranging from Shostakovich and Bach to Nas and Jay-Z, Black Violin breaks all the rules, blending the classical with the modern to create something rare—a sound that nobody has ever heard but everybody wants to feel.

BV has worked with musicians as diverse as P.Diddy, Kanye West, Fifty Cent, Aerosmith, Tom Petty, Aretha Franklin and the Eagles—among many others. But Black Violin is only getting started. The group released its eponymous debut album in 2008—a record whose top notch production and musical cohesion make it feel like the work of seasoned veterans rather than industry upstarts. In addition to their 2012 release “Classically Trained”, the group continues to tour far and wide, opening for hip hop mainstays like Fat Joe, Akon, and the Wu-Tang Clan in locations as diverse, as Prague, Dubai, and South Africa. The group’s rising fame has also made it a highly desired act for celebrity events—Black Violin provided the music at both Minister Lois Farrakhan’s 75th birthday and at NFL star Santana Moss’s wedding.
