Black Violin members Wil Baptiste & Kev Marcus met on the first day of orchestra class in 1996 at Dillard High School of the Performing Arts in Fort Lauderdale. Classically trained by day, they faithfully put on their headphones & listened to the hottest rap records each night. They went to different colleges but then reconvened, moved into an apartment together, & started trying to produce other musicians. They developed an act covering hip-hop songs on their violins, which became popular in local clubs. 2 years after sending in a tape to Showtime at the Apollo, they were invited to appear on the show?which they won & kept winning. They were approached by the manager of Alicia Keys, who asked them to perform with the singer at the Billboard Awards. Other offers followed?they toured with Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park, opened for the Wu-Tang Clan, & worked with the likes of Alessia Cara, 2 Chainz, & Lil Wayne.
