Damien Escobar

City Winery Nashville Presents Damien Escobar live on April 18th.

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.
