Vibrant Strings is a dynamic violin trio composed of three siblings: Johnny, Jaliyah, and Rahim, all born and raised in Buffalo, New York. In their twenties and varying in age, the trio is classically trained but showcases their versatility by performing across multiple genres, including classical, R&B, pop, hip-hop, jazz, gospel, rock, holiday music, and national anthems.

The trio has performed at a number of prestigious events, including alongside the Grammy Award-winning Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, the Gateway Music Festival in Rochester, NY, Salvatore’s Chandelier Bar, and various events for elected officials and inauguration ceremonies. They have also graced the stages of the Pine Grill, Juneteenth Festivals, Roswell Park Comprehensive Care events, the Khaledias Children’s Hospital Benefit (Party on Pearl), Patrick’s Rooftop, the Lewiston Jazz Festival, as well as numerous restaurants, galas, and weddings.

Vibrant Strings has had the honor of opening for several prominent artists, including Kenny G at Kleinheins Music Hall, The Dance Theatre of Harlem at Shea’s Performing Arts Center, and national recording artists such as After 7, The Whispers, Lloyd, and Johnny Gill. They have been interviewed and featured on WKBW Channel 7 News, AM Buffalo, and WBLK 93.7, with articles written about them in notable publications including The Buffalo News, The Rochester NY Newspaper, Buffalo Challenger, The Criterion, and Profile Magazine based out of New York City.

Their performances have spanned the United States and Canada, and they offer virtual violin lessons to share their expertise. Their music is available on all major streaming platforms, including Apple Music, Spotify, and YouTube. The siblings take great joy in playing together and sharing their passion for music with audiences everywhere.
