The violin hasn't been a favorite instrament... well maybe not until now. After listening to Vanessa Mae bring the violin to life in a whole new way I'm hooked. She plays just about every genre of music; classical, pop, rock, techno and reggae to name a few, often mixing two or more music genres in a beautiful new way.

She played with the Philharmonie Orchestra when she was ten, and began her popular professional life at sixteen. Maybe it's a bit overmuch to post three of her videos but they are all so good it was tough just to cut it down this far.

This is my favorite. It sounds rather like classical but with a disco beat (a favorite genre).













Here is a list of her videos on YouTube, unfortunately some people remix and upload her music with their own videos (like Saturday morning cartoons). Then take a look at Vanessa Mae's website and read her success story.
