Eric Stanley is a VCU student who performs covers of popular hip-hop songs on his violin and posts them to Youtube. His videos are, from all appearances, filmed in his dorm room, but their humble origins have done nothing to stop the rapid spread of his performances, some of which have racked up over 250,000 views. If recent events are any indication, going viral on Youtube is just the beginning of his musical career. Last month, the CEO of the Entrust Bankcard corporation flew Eric out to Phoenix, Arizona, so he could serve as entertainment for a corporate conference, and in December, Eric will release his first EP on Itunes. We’ll probably be hearing a lot more from this up-and-coming local artist in the future, but for now, there’s plenty to listen to on his Youtube channel. Check it out, and be sure to hit him up on facebook and twitter if you like what you hear.
