When Garrett was four years old, his father bought a violin for his older brother. The young David took an interest and soon learned to play. A year later, he took part in a competition and won first prize. By the age of seven, he was playing once a week in public. He studied violin at the Lubeck Conservatoire. At the age of 12, he began working with the distinguished Polish violinist Ida Haendel, often travelling to London and the other European cities to meet her. At the age of 13, he recorded two CDs, appeared on German and Dutch television, and gave a concert in the residence of the Federal Republic of Germany President, the Villa Hammerschmidt, at Dr. von Weizsäcker’s personal invitation. He was offered the use of the famous Stradivarius "San Lorenzo", which is among the best instruments of the "golden period". At the age of 14, as the youngest soloist ever, he signed an exclusive contract with Deutsche Grammophon Gesellschaft. At the age of 17, he played with the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra under the direction of Zubin Mehta in Delhi and Bombay in concerts marking the 50th anniversary of India’s Independence. At the age of 19, he played with the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchster in Berlin, under the direction of Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos, and was hailed by critics. This led to an invitation to perform at Expo 2000 in Hannover. He continued his studies at the Royal College of Music in London. At the age of 21, he was invited to perform at the BBC Proms. He graduated from the Juilliard School in 2004.
While studying at the Juilliard School in New York City, as one of the first students to study with Itzhak Perlman, Garrett supplemented his income by working as a model. Some fashion writers have described him as "the David Beckham of the classical scene".
In December 2007, Garrett fell after a performance at Barbican Hall in London, and smashed his rare violin, initially reported as a Stradivarius, but later corrected to having been made by Giovanni Battista Guadagnini. Garrett had purchased the instrument four years earlier for USD 1 million.[3] It was estimated that it would cost $120,000 to repair.[4]

It seems nobody got the idea at all! He's a professionally trained classical violinist who's making a crossover, as a means to attract young people to listen to and appreciate classical music. By the way, 70 to 80 % of his concerts are still devoted to classical music, which he considers "his home", and has never abandoned. The classical ballerina dancing on a pole is also a crossover. A way to tell everybody that all forms of art may be merged, as long as the merger is done the right way, and to achieve a higher end. That of bringing people of all ages to appreciate art in all its forms.

DAVID IS THE BEST. He performed with international orchestras in his teenage years, Attended Julliard (Best school for music), won the composition prizes in his school, studied under one of the best violinists of all time (Perlman) and has become one himself. HE WAS A PRODIGY! He started violin at the age of 4, and was playing professionally by the age of 12. He played a fricking STRADIVARIUS at the age of ELEVEN. He was good enough to do so. He did classical music for a while and ventured into crossover. He is a TRULY talented violinist, a professional one that has been practicing for decades. Of course he isn't on billboard. He's not collabing with pop stars, he's not a modern celebrity because he's trying to make real violin music, no autotune or back tracks, all done by himself. He's in the world OF PROFESSIONAL MUSIC. He did not go on america's got talent, x factor, or stupid money competitions like that. He studied, went to a music college and is considered one of the greatest violinists of all time along with people like sarah chang, maxim vengerov, gil shaham, david oistrakh, anne sophie mutter, etc.
Words to catch:
prodigy
julliard
professional
stradivarious
true violinist

+Joyce-LynnHasan Lindsey is way too much better than David, he doesn't have creativity he has to do covers, I don't deny she hasn't made covers but she has done it with other people. I'm so sorry you think I'm wrong but Lindsey is better she even has like 4 albums with music of and BY herself.
