Yes, It's that overplayed radio hit sensation. It's the song you can’t escape at every frat party and random playlist on Spotify; and it has made its debut once again. The difference this time? It’s being played on a violin. Yes, Fetty Wap’s 679 has gone classical and there is one person to thank, Rhett Price.
Price is a violinist, songwriter, and glorified Youtuber. Starting his official climb to fame by playing “I know you were trouble” by T-shift in a subway music performance in Boston. With over 100,000 likes on Facebook and almost 7 million views on his version of Trap Queen, Price is generating a lot of buzz.
Violin is mostly seen as elegant medium, but by recreating songs like trap queen, 679 and other hit songs, Price is diversifying the way we think about classical instruments. Price began playing the violin at the age of four, but he never actually played classical music- he grew up playing country and bluegrass, then he discovered rock n' roll and pop. Now he is doing rap, r&b and trap music. His music keeps changing, and he claims that he will, “adapt his playing to fit what [he] thinks sounds the best for each song [he] plays.”
