Nuttin' But Stringz, also known as N.B.S., consisted of the duo Tourie and Damien Escobar who both play violin. The musicians from Jamaica, Queens played a blend of classical music, hip-hop,〔Chattanooga Times Free Press (Taking Sides: Who will win ''America’s Got Talent''? ), September 23, 2008〕 jazz and R&B.〔 ==Biography== Nuttin But Stringsz began studying violin at ages 8 and 7, respectively, and eventually studied at the Juilliard School.〔〔("Bio" at nuttinbutstrings.com )〕 In 2005, the duo entered and won a talent competition at the Apollo Theatre in New York. Their victory on ''Showtime at the Apollo'' led to media attention and appearances on ''The Ellen DeGeneres Show'', ''The Today Show'' with Katie Couric, and ''The Tonight Show'' with Jay Leno. Around the same time the duo showcased their talents at Carnegie Hall and performed for President George W. Bush at The White House. On January 8, 2006, Nuttin But Stringz performed their Hit song ''Thunder'' at the debut of the redesigned Cadillac CTS at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. Nuttin' But Stringz performed after a classical string quartet. General Motors Corp. executives used the two performances as an analogy, to demonstrate that what used to be good enough (the quartet) needs to be reinvigorated (N.B.S). A video for "Thunder" is also featured on the website for Jack's Big Music Show on Noggin. The exposure continued when they were featured in the first of five commercials featuring local artists on New York's local news channel, NY1. NBS gained national attention when their unique brand of music secured the Duo a part in the 2006 dance movie ''Step Up'', and shortly after CBS featured "Thunder" during the 2007 NCAA Tournament. "Thunder" was also featured in the 1st episode of the television series The Black Donnellys, and was used in various television commercials. In spring 2009, NBS announced via the group's website that a new album was in the works and was followed later in that year by a hugely successful tour.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hit Maker )〕 Their music has sold platinum.〔http://www.cisionwire.com/mayo-communications/platinum-selling-urban-rock-violin-duo-nuttin--but-stringz-ties-a-bow-around-american-heart-association-s-power-to-end-stroke-benefit-concert〕 They debuted their song "Winner" on "The Debrief with David Ushery" on New York Nonstop 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Nuttin' But Stringz )〕 on July 23, 2010. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nuttin' But Stringz」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
