“Violinist Linzi adds another string to the Stoppard bow…” Mail on Sunday

"Linzi is a wild and uninhibited performer" Daily Telegraph

Linzi Stoppard is an electric violinist; who pushes the boundaries of musical convention with her passionate, live sets of rock, chill, dance and contemporary melodies. Ever challenging and always inventive, Linzi has transfixed audiences the world over with passionate and mesmerising performances. Each live, 15 minute set that Linzi plays sees musical influences from The Stones to Cafe del Mar bursting to life through electric strings and a bow that she wields like a magic wand.

With a sound ranging from the more chilled tracks (aka Enigma) to the vibrant rockier sound (aka Hendrix); her performance is a show in its own right and definitely not CLASSICAL!

Linzi is to the violin what Dita Von Teese is to ballet: she has taken her craft, made it her own and updated it for lovers of 21st century performance and art.

Married to Will Stoppard, son of Tom and Miriam, Linzi brings another dimension to an already hugely successful and creative family.

Linzi has been playing the violin since she was four and trained at the prestigious Suzuki violin school. Her musical success began in her late teens she was then spotted by two music producers who convinced her to front cult American group “Lords o Acid”, so she moved to Belgium and recorded Tattoo of Pain (vocals/electric violin). It resulted in major record deals around the world including EMI Europe and Never Records USA.

After the success of the album she was signed to EMI Belgium where she formed Babe Instinct and recorded "Disco Babes From Outer Space" which was a hit across Europe.

She is currently in the studio recording her debut solo eclectic album on the electric violin and can currently be seen performing globally at exclusive events in London, Paris, New York and the Far East.
