Violinist's Cool Rendition Of Bieber Song, A 22-year-old South Carolina music buff turns one of the pop star's big hits into a classical piece. South Carolina Violinist Makes Pop Music Sound Pretty, Seth Gilliard, 22, of Charleston, S.C., definitely knows how to pull some strings, or rather, play them. The southern violinist, who just graduated from Furman University in May, is taking the music scene by storm with his classical renditions of mainstream pop songs. "I did the whole classical thing growing up, taking private lessons, all the stuff that's entailed with that.
Then around late high school, junior or senior year, I started experimenting with more pop music, just because it was what I was listening to, what my friends were listening to," Gilliard told ABC News. Veering away from classical music into pop culture has proven quite successful for Gilliard. His YouTube page currently has 18 covers he's performed and professionally recorded by artists such as Justin Bieber, Usher and Alicia Keys. "Now that I've graduated, I wanted to see how far I could get in the world of pop music.
