Ashanti you have a very, very,very special gift my Brother.... I am amazed by your music and your skill on your instrument. You make the strings come alive for sure. I stumbled upon you music from a Facebook friend post. I immediately went looking for your cd(s). How inspiring your music truly is and watching you play it is so entertaining. I am amazed!! Keep doing it Brother....soon the world is going to know you and your great music.

[@artbylisi]

What an amazing gift you have.

[@우우까까-l5j]

Black soul.... very amazing

[@ratskram]

I'm a big fan of the Silence of the City rock version of this song and now I've found this cover which is also brilliant. What an artist sensational!

[@dznutz3601]

You put learning the violin on my bucket list most beautiful sound there is

[@airaisane]

I just love how you get lost in the music and your listeners get lost in it too. I love it. I can't help but randomly clap even when I'm all alone when listening to this.

Simply beautiful violin playing. You are awesome Ashanti !

[@jerrygod2877]

Man this guy gets so into it i love it. You are a boss my friend

[@LonghornShootingSports]

I just cried. While I try to speak with the violin, you make her sing.

[@descro4319]

[@katherinalewandowsky.7055]

It's amazing. I get chills when I listen to it. In the world of where ruled by electronics are still someone like him. genius.... (I'm sorry for my English.:( I'm from Poland)

[@AntonLFG]

I feel the soul and the *voice* in the instrument. It breathes and feels and expresses just like a human, and that's legendary for an inanimate object, no matter how much love and affection and care i might- ahem, us musicians might show to it.

[@sammybeth1253]

Can't stop listening to this song, you are amazing!

[@Arifaaaa]

pure and utter magnificence im blown away

[@MrRMSR]

wow breathtaking

[@hyperionxxxxx]

This truly brings out a beautiful side of being human. To think that we all start out as tiny cells and some grow into songwriters while others will build instruments for others to play. If all is done right we can end up with something like this. Spiritual! Hats off to everyone that spend even a tiny part their day bringing joy to other people.

[@tefosaaa]

love how he feels the music, amazing

[@seakate8183]

My god what a talent ! I love what you do! Never stop music and believe in your dreams! I hope one day i can see you in concert! You are so great!

[@AfrifaNaruto]

what a sensation you truly are... amazing talent, absolutely incredible!

[@tylerkass3564]

Saw you at Club Vinyl on Friday and was thoroughly entertained! My daughter has been wanting to learn how to play the violin, but we cannot afford lessons on top of her other musical outlets. She plays trombone, trumpet, piano, guitar, french horn and ukulele. Thank you for what you do. I noticed that you donated violins to Escambia County Schools. Amazing RAOK for the schools in our area. We are in Santa Rosa County Schools and I know how much the instruments cost(daughter in band) and the schools in both counties get almost nothing to support band in our schools. Keep up the good work!!!

[@khansah5903]

You make the violin sing man it's absolutely beautiful!

[@ConradoMauricioWill]

What a performance...! gorgeous

[@TheMadViolinist]
