David Garrett, born September 4, 1980 in Aachen, Germany, is a German-American violinist.
The child of an American mother and a German father, prodigy violin soloist Garrett, reached and surpassed many an important milestone before his matriculation at Juilliard in New York. His interest in violin began at the age of four, when his older brother received a violin from his father -- who himself was a antique stringed-instrument dealer. A year later, he had already won a competition, and by seven he was playing in public as often as possible.
This kind of talent was quickly picked up by Deutsche Grammophone, which offered and signed a contract with the violinist when he was only 14 years old. He graduated from Juilliard in New York in 2004, after having been a student with Itzhak Perlman. He has performed with many of the world's orchestras, and in 2007 he played with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, touring the United States with the orchestra in 2008.
In 2009, Garrett released a self-titled album on the Decca label. The varied repertoire included music from Bizet, a version of “Dueling Banjos” plus a cover version of Michael Jackson’s “Smooth Criminal”. A year later he returned with Rock Symphonies, an album featuring material from Nirvana, Guns ‘N’ Roses, and Metallica.
In 2011, Garrett became known to TV audience when he performed in the hit reality show, "Dancing with the Stars".
