Damien Escobar

Musician. Entrepreneur. Philanthropist. Humanitarian. Damien Escobar bears many titles and puts no limits on what more he can achieve, making him one of the most prolific figures hailing from Jamaica, Queens. And if you had any doubt about the Emmy-award winning breakout violinist, his resume, which spans nearly two decades, humbly includes billboard chart-topping albums, sold out global tours, collaborations with music legends, and more — an inspirational success story that started with Escobar playing his violin on NYC subways. Proving his hustle, drive, passion and unquestionable talent, are the pillars that hold up his ever-expanding brand. Escobar’s life, like a rollercoaster, was full of high highs and low lows. It was just 8 years ago that Escobar faced homelessness and battled depression. But he persevered and won the war by recommitting to his music and reclaiming his spot as one of the top violinists in the world— garnering millions of fans, selling out four national and international tours, and releasing two billboard chart topping albums.
