Candice “Pretty Stringz” – Electric Violinist | Performer | Creator of Unforgettable Moments Candice “Pretty Stringz” is a powerhouse electric violinist known for igniting stages with her high-energy performances, genre-blending style, and magnetic presence. With over two decades of classical training and more than 1,000 shows under her belt, Candice is not just a musician—she’s an experience. From high-end galas to global stages, her violin speaks the language of soul, celebration, and impact. Hailing from Detroit, Michigan, Candice began playing violin at just 9 years old and quickly stood out as a prodigy with both raw talent and unmatched discipline. Her gift earned her a full scholarship to college, where she deepened her mastery of the instrument while cultivating a distinctive sound that breaks the mold of traditional string playing. Today, she merges her classical roots with contemporary flair—effortlessly fusing R&B, hip-hop, gospel, pop, soul, and even EDM into dynamic performances that captivate diverse audiences. Her career spans everything from sharing stages with platinum-selling artists to intimate wedding ceremonies, exclusive private parties, fundraisers, conferences, and major corporate events. Candice has performed for Fortune 500 companies, nonprofit galas, luxury brand activations, and packed auditoriums alike. Her past performances include opening acts and collaborations with musical legends like the late D’Wayne Wiggins (of Tony! Toni! Toné!), and she’s graced stages across the U.S. with her vibrant, modern take on violin performance. What sets Pretty Stringz apart? It’s not just the music—it’s the experience. Candice’s performances are immersive, emotional, and electric. She doesn’t just play the violin—she commands it with power, elegance, and presence. Whether she’s strolling through a crowd during cocktail hour or taking center stage with a custom remix, Candice knows how to engage every guest and leave a lasting impression. As a woman of faith, Candice also believes in purpose-driven artistry. She uses her platform to uplift, inspire, and create moments that matter—often performing for inner-city students, women’s empowerment events, and recovery programs. Her mission is to show that beauty, excellence, and faith can coexist powerfully through music. Clients love working with Pretty Stringz not only because of her professionalism and polish but because she brings joy, style, and spirit to every performance. Her setups are flexible—ranging from solo acoustic ceremonies to high-energy electric violin sets backed by tracks or full DJ collaborations. Whatever the occasion, she tailors her playlist and vibe to the event’s unique energy, ensuring every note feels personal. Looking to elevate your event with something unforgettable? Whether you're planning a luxury wedding, corporate reception, private celebration, or faith-based gathering, Pretty Stringz delivers music with meaning and a performance you’ll never forget.
