“I hope to be remembered as someone who opened doors to the next generation”
-Miri Ben Ari
Hip-hop and classical music, the Middle East and America. A few things you might imagine to be very different all come together in the complex, imaginative, unique being that is Miri Ben Ari.

She mixes classical, the genre she was initially trained in as a young girl, with jazz R&B and hip-hop making her the first ever hip-hop violinist. She has worked with Kanye West, Jay-Z and Wyclef jean among many other greats to help sell millions of world famous records. Ben Ari has been recognized with a Grammy, the Apollo Theatre has named her an “Apollo Legend” and her song “Symphony of Brotherhood” was the first instrumental single to make it on the Billboard R&B/hip-hop charts.
