ADCOLOR® | 2012 ADCOLOR Awards : Brandon Summers, The Violinist - Featured Performer @adcolorawards | Uploaded 11 years ago | Updated 2 hours ago
Most would say that violins don't have a place in the world of popular music. Brandon Summers would have to disagree. He has taken the violin, Hip Hop, R&B and Soul and merged them.
Raised in Las Vegas, Nevada, Brandon has been playing the violin since the age of six. He is classically trained and technically proficient; however, his ability to improvise sets him apart from most violinists. What doesn't come from the page comes from his soul.
While in high school and college, Brandon performed in numerous ensembles including the Las Vegas Youth Symphony and Youth Camerata, and the Fort Valley State University Strings Ensemble and Wildcat Force Recruitment Team. He has also won several talent shows.
Brandon has taken his music to streets, regularly performing on the Las Vegas Strip. When he is not street-performing, he is playing around the country for private and corporate events. He has recently performed for: the 2012 ADCOLOR Awards, Roche Bobois, Neiman Marcus, Ciroc, Nodstroms, Hudson Jeans, Serene Skin Care, the Las Vegas National Bar Association, the Las Vegas Urban Chamber of Commerce and the Las Vegas Black History Month Festival.
His performances are breathtaking to say the least. He strokes every note on his instrument as if it were coming from his vocal chords. Most that have had the opportunity to hear Brandon play are left speechless and curious as to how one person can possess so much talent.
Brandon is changing the way that people think about the violin. He is a force to be reckoned with and there is no doubt that he will soon make his mark on the world.
