Matthew Hurlbert is a violin soloist who picked up his first violin at the age of four. He is also a songwriter; writing, recording and mastering all eleven tracks on his debut album, "Let's Get This Thing Started." "Let's Get This Thing Started" is a fusion of rock, techno, country, pop and even classical elements combined in a unique but pleasant sound that people everywhere adore. "The violin is not meant for just classical," Hurlbert said in an interview. "The stereotype about the violin is very large, many people only think of the violin as a classical instrument. The fact of the matter is, it can be used with any type of music." Whether it's playing "The Flight of the Bumblebee" in a staggering 52.93 seconds, playing his famous version of the original Charlie Daniels tune "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" or playing an original song of his, such as "Old Train to Memphis" or "You Think That Was Cool?" Hurlbert is a master of the violin and gets people up and out of there seats whenever or wherever he plays. Hurlbert says he got his interest in the violin from watching Yo-Yo Ma on public television years ago, but ultimately decided to become a virtuoso after hearing the legendary violinist, David Garrett. In 2012, Matthew is expected to break the world record and hold the title of "Worlds Fastest Vioinist."
