Hailed as one of the most influential and impactful violinists in modern history— two-time Emmy award-winning artist, Damien Escobar, has spent nearly two decades cementing his legacy as the “King of Strings”. He’s inspired listeners, broke barriers, and created a blueprint for other contemporary violinists who aspire to top the charts and make their way onto main stages around the world. And his work is just getting started.    

The Jamaica, Queens native who is known for his charisma, sincere humility, and undeniable talent— has always believed the key to his success is rooted in his humble beginnings. It is the main source that keeps him connected to his fans and cultivates his unending love for performing. And if you’ve heard his story you know that Escobar’s journey after Juilliard (from which he graduated at the age of 12) wasn’t easy! But his passion and vision took him from playing for straphangers on NYC subways to serenading everyone from Oprah to the Obamas while achieving several lifetime goals in between— including an NAACP award nomination, topping the 100 Billboard charts, and selling 1M+ records. 

In 2023 Escobar sold out venues across the nation with his “Victory Lap” tour — an inspiring experience intended to empower audiences to celebrate their lives and all they’ve overcome. Escobar has a lot to celebrate on his musical journey, with his song “Taboo” earning the #1 song in the country and topping the Billboard charts, as well as the release of his highly anticipated album, Gemini. Escobar is letting it be known that his reign as the King of Strings will not cease. He’s on a mission to prove there’s astonishing power in instrumental music and he intends to motivate listeners and make an impact on mainstream music like never before. With the release of his studio album, “Gemini”, Escobar is showing no signs of slowing down.
