Grammy Award Winning Violinist & Producer Miri Ben-Ari returns with a hip hop masterpiece, the new single Quiet Storm. It’s a virtuosic violin performance dedicated to women’s empowerment that plays over a hard hip-hop beat and the voice of the legendary hype man Fat Man Scoop.
Ben-Ari says, “this song is about me, being a strong woman, being myself, people say that I look quiet but have a storm inside me when playing the violin. Quiet Storm is the first single on my comeback album, and I wanted to do what I do best, produce original music and bring it down hiphop style. I am humbled to represent and pioneer a musical genre that influenced so many musicians and artists.”
