Hi, I’m Jess! A classically trained with a punk-rock heart ❤️
My musical journey started 25 years ago when I first told my Mum I wanted to play the violin. Since then, my career has taken turns I never could have predicted. While I am classically trained—graduating with a Bachelor of Performance from WAAPA and a Master’s in Experimental Performance from Goldsmiths, University of London—my heart thrives when I'm pushing boundaries.
I’ve studied under mentors like Richard Jones (Beth Gibbons, Teh Cure, Pulp, The Ligeti Quartet) and performed everywhere from concert halls with prestigious orchestras to iconic London underground venues like The Windmill and Paper Dress Vintage. Whether I’m playing in a jazz jam, recording with alt-bands, or performing at an art installation, my goal is always the same: to show that the violin and viola can do so much more than people expect.
How I Bring My Fair to Your Event:
With over 15 years of professional experience, I create tailored performances designed to elevate your most important moments. Based in Brighton and East Sussex, I travel across the UK to bring a unique energy to weddings, corporate events, and private celebrations.
-
Versatile Repertoire: I play everything from timeless classical masterpieces and jazz standards to 80s anthems and modern pop hits.
-
Acoustic & Electric: I’m equally at home on acoustic violin for a romantic ceremony as I am on electric violin for a high-energy party.
-
Bespoke Arrangements: If your favorite song isn't available for violin, I can create a custom arrangement just for you to ensure your soundtrack is unmistakably you.
I believe music is at its best when it turns a moment into a memory. Whether it’s an intimate wedding or a bumping afterparty, I bring warmth, energy, and a genuine love for celebration to every set I play.
