David Garrett

David Garrett is a German violinist known for his many recordings of classical repertoire and crossover arrangements. Outside of music, he is also an accomplished model, film actor, and he published his autobiography in 2022. He was born in 1980 in Aachen, Germany to a German father and an American mother. Garrett began playing his older brother’s violin when he was four years old, and he progressed quickly. In the following year, he won the first prize in a local music competition, and he began studying at the Lübeck Conservatoire when he was seven. He made his debut in 1989 at the Festival Kissinger Sommer in Bad Kissingen, and he was given a Stradivarius violin two years later by the president of Germany, Richard von Weizacker. Garrett became a student of Ida Haendel in 1992, and he signed a recording contract with Deutsche Grammophon in 1993. This led to the release of both Mozart: Violinzonzerte K.218 & 271a and Beethoven: Frühlings Sonate; Bach: Partiata BWV 1004; Mozart: Adagio KV 261 in 1995. He enrolled at the Royal College of Music in London in 1997, but he was expelled after the first semester. He also released Paganini Caprices, Tchaikovsky, Jules Conus: Violin Concertos, and he travelled to Israel on several occasions for masterclasses with Keshet Eilon. From 1999 to 2004, Garrett lived in New York and studied with Itzhak Perlman at the Juilliard School, and he also worked as a model. After his graduation, he began arranging works by non-classical artists such as Nirvana, Metallica, and Michael Jackson. The 2007 and 2008 releases Free, Virtuoso, and Encore all contained an interesting mix of well-known classical works and crossover arrangements, and the album David Garrett from 2009 also featured original compositions. He released another 14 albums in the 2010s, and he also appeared as Niccolo Paganini in the film The Devil’s Violinist from 2013. Garrett’s 2022 classical release, Iconic, climbed to the fourth position on the German pop album chart, and he performed the repertoire internationally in 2023. His autobiography If You Only Knew, published in 2022, was also very popular.
