Violinist

London

Originally a classical violinist, I now also play many types of modern music such as Pop, Rock, Electro or RnB. I also write, sing, and play pop songs, and will be happy to perform for your event in the style of your choice! I can do violin covers as well as improvise on any style. I'm happy to provide a setlist of classical pieces from Vivaldi, Bach, Mozart, Pachelbel, Tchaikovsky, etc., or jazz standards like The Way You Look Tonight, romantic pop songs like Hallelujah, Easy On Me by Adele or Fix You by Coldplay, or more upbeat dancing songs like Can't Stop The Feeling by Justin Timberlake, Lean On by Major Lazor or Shape Of You by Ed Sheeran. Feel free to drop me a message!

Matei's Reviews

5 out of 5

Matei surpassed expectations. He is an excellent musician with beautiful tones from his violin, but more than that, he is a wonderful improviser. Matei accompanied us in the studio where we are putting the final touches to an album, and he played in a range of 3 or 4 different genres for us. Great guy, and we all wish him every success in his musical career.

"I recently played with Matei at three venues in London. I can recommend him as a fine violinist who is highly versatile in many styles and genres of music."

5 out of 5

Matei is a very impressive performer. He is clearly very skilled in his instrument and songwriting, and he is able to improvise with other artists on-the-spot. His presence is most welcome at all of our open mic nights.
