New York, NY (Top40 Charts) The unprecedented combination of sounds on Black Violin's major-label debut 'Stereotypes' (out now on Universal Classics) has put a bright spotlight on the genre-smashing hip-hop violin duo and their tremendous story continues to grow. They just performed on Ellen with Alessia Cara, have a major profile in the Miami Herald this week and will be featured on Fuse's Skee TV today. They've also recently been profiled on NPR's Morning Edition, performed on Wendy Williams and Good Day NY, will appear on Fox's Red Eye next month, and saw the new album debut at peak positions on the Billboard charts in between the likes of The Weeknd, Prince and Yo-Yo Ma, including #1 on the Classical and Classical Crossover and Top 5 on R&B Albums.

Black Violin is Wilner "Wil B" Baptiste (viola) and Kevin "Kev" Marcus Sylvester (violin), who first started playing together in high school orchestra in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. The band tours non-stop, playing as many as 200 shows a year.
