Black Violin is a classical crossover American hip hop duo, consisting of classically trained string instrumentalists Kevin Sylvester (violin) and Wilner Baptiste (viola), aka Kev Marcus and Wil B. Friends for years before they became a world-renowned musical act, the duo met in orchestra class at Dillard High School of the Performing Arts in 1996 and, after going their separate ways for college, reunited in 2004. They began performing classical covers of their favorite hip hop songs at local clubs, and one day they sent a tape of their act to Showtime at the Apollo. They were invited to perform on the show and won the competition, changing their lives. Subsequently, they have performed with Alicia Keys at the Billboard Awards, toured with Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park, opened for the Wu-Tang Clan, and composed the music for the groundbreaking Fox series Pitch. Take the Stairs, their most recent album, was released in November 2019.
