Ezinma, the classically-trained violinist who became a viral sensation after her video covers of trap music went viral, is sharing her gift of music with inner-city students.
As a young adult, Ezinma moved to New York and graduated from the Mannes School of Music and gained notoriety for fusing classical music and hip hop.
Furthermore, Ezinma is gearing up for the launch of her nonprofit foundation, HeartStrings, a music-based youth development program for children K-5 of diverse backgrounds, later this year, says Essentia.
The HeartStrings Academy will equip each student with a quality instrument, music instruction, and community engagement activities along with access to world-renowned concerts and performance.
Her goal is to help children of color get more exposure and access to classical music.
