Nothing But The Best From Nuttin' But Stringz

string0114.jpg

Urban rock violin duo Nuttin' But Stringz came by to talk about their success following their appearance on the third season of America's Got Talent. They also performed "Broken Sorrow" and "Thunder" live in our studio, both of which can be found on their Grammy-nominated album, Struggle From the Subway to the Charts. The title stems from their past, in which they played music on the subways for money, to their present-day success.

The New York duo grew up in Jamaica, Queens. Short-handed as N.B.S., the twosome comprises of teenage brothers Damien and Tourie Escobar. They are a breath of fresh air in the music industry today as they channel their streetwise style in a very unconventional way: through their violin-playing. Their music is an intense hybrid of classical music, R&B, hip-hop and jazz.

N.B.S. will be performing with Aretha Franklin at The Kennedy Center for Martin Luther King Day (January 19), as well as three different inaugural events during the week of President-Elect Barack Obama's inauguration week. In addition, they will be performing at the celeb-founded organization event "Declare Yourself" hosted by Jessica Alba and on-stage with music icons like Carrie Underwood on January 18.

N.B.S.' album Struggle from the Subway to the Charts is available in stores now.
