Karolina Protsenko is an accomplished street musician and YouTube sensation performing as a teenage violinist. She was born in Ukraine into a musical family, and her parents play guitar and piano.

Their family moved to the U.S. years ago when she was 6 years old, and Karolina received classical training at an early age. This performance features Karolina playing the hit ‘80s tune ‘Gloria.’

‘Gloria’ was made famous by Laura Branigan in 1982 when it became platinum-certified. The song peaked at number 2 on the Billboard charts but remained on the Hot 100 for 36 weeks.

Karolina sports a green dress adorned with white leaves and vines. She pairs that with black army-style boots while playing in an open-air shopping mall. The passing people record her on their phones as they appreciate her exceptional talent.

Karolina typically dances while playing the violin, but in this performance, she moves around with a few moves here and there. She is focused on delivering the powerful melody while the bass and drums play on her makeshift sound system.

Her poise and musicianship are incredible. The violin is a complicated instrument to master, and Karolina has proven time and time again that she can play anything. However, her preference is transforming pop songs into classical remixes.

Karolina has three YouTube channels, along with Facebook and Instagram. In only four years, her fan base has grown to more than 10 million followers in over 50 countries.
