Where it all began

My name is Raquel Violin. I started playing the violin at age of eight, holding nowadays a violin Degree from Liceu Conservatory in Barcelona, (Spain) and Trinity College of London (England) and a Master in Musicology and Sciences education by Universidad Autónoma of Barcelona.

I worked in Barcelona, London and Indonesia for many years, as a Professional Music Education teacher at schools, conservatories and academies.

Also been member of different Orchestras such as BCO London Orchestra and Chamber formations around Spain, Italy, as well as musical theaters in London.

My first steps into Electronic Music was playing electric violin with effects at Riverdance show. Nowdays I perform my own show called: “Electric Violin Show” combining different styles from Chill out, Deep House, Funk, Dance, where I dance while playing violin.

I have an extensive experience in Corporate Events, Weddings, Beach clubs, such as Nikki Beach Club, Anima Beach Club, 5 stars Luxury Hotels in Mallorca and Ibiza, such as Melià Hotels, Iberostar, Hilton…as well as internationally: Austria, Los Angeles, Costa Rica, México, Egypt… New York (USA) where I recorded for Sello Platino.

I have been the image with my transparent Ted Brewer violin for Bang&Olufsen brand in Mallorca and I,m continuously collaborating with different DJs creating new songs and covers published on Spotify, Itunes, etc.. This year 2019, I won an award by Akademia in Los Angeles, California, for Best Ambient/Instrumental music video on my violin cover: “Born to die”

I'm always playing live on my own arranged backing tracks (original songs and covers from classical/ fusion/ pop/ jazz/ latin/ electronic songs) being able to improvise in any style of music.

The microphone system is wireless, allowing me to make free moves on stage. Shows are variable (as the choreography, timing, costumes) and could be chosen by the client’s & event’s needs. In addition to the solo performances, I can be adapted to DJ shows, dancers, acrobats, duo with Guitar, creating the best musical & visual show for any kind of event and impressing the audience.
