More on David Garrett
David´s back story is as equally intriguing as his music. Born in Germany to an American ballerina mother and a German lawyer father, he was a true child prodigy. At age eight, David was being booked to play as a soloist in front of some of the worlds greatest orchestras. When he turned 13, he was signed to the most prestigious classical music label in the world, Deutsche Grammophon. As a teenager, he ached to escape the confines of classical music, and the grueling career he felt he could no longer sustain. Without telling his parents, he fled to New York to sample life as a normal adolescent, and discovered the temptations of city living. The classical violin was put aside in favor of rock music, clubs and girls. Eventually his passion for the violin returned, and on a lark he auditioned at the world famous Juilliard music school. He was accepted, and to his surprise, taken on by legendary violinist Itzhak Perlman as a student. Taking odd jobs for cash, David found himself working as a busboy and later, modeling. Effortlessly, he eventually landed in the pages of Vogue, and the Fashion Week catwalks for Armani, all the while pursuing his musical dreams. With a multi-faceted international career, arresting good looks and charisma, it´s not surprising that David landed a deal as a global brand ambassador for Banana Republic, appearing in their 2009 national advertising campaign for spring/summer, âCity Stories. Additional endorsements overseas include the brands Audi and Montblanc. Dubbed, as the fastest violinist in the world, by German paper Kolner Stadt-Anzeigere, David will be in the 2010 Guinness Book of World Records as the fastest-ever performer of The Flight of the Bumblebee, clocking in at a blistering 66 seconds. Lauded conductor and Kennedy Center Honoree Zubin Mehta put it best when he said, David Garrett is surely going to have a resounding presence on the music world of the 21st century.
