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. The Emmy-winning, NAACP Image Award nominee, possesses a nearly
two-decade-spanning resume that 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.
Damien’s energetic live performances feature a wide range of “cross-over” musical styles
consisting of a mix of classical, jazz, pop, R&B, and hip hop. His eclectic use of genres creates
a sound that embraces the traditions of jazz and classical music as much as it highlights his
singular innovation as an artist, and his desire to explore beyond the boundaries of the sonically
mainstream. There is something in Damien’s music for everyone, and it is truly best enjoyed
live.
