About Yasin

Classically trained violinist in London. I have been playing for orchestras, weddings, events and concerts.
Violinist
London
Public liability insurance of £10 million

Music has always been a powerful way for me to express emotion, connect with people, and tell stories through sound. My approach to performing is centred around bringing every piece of music to life, capturing the feeling and character of the original composition while adding my own artistic touch. I have been playing the violin for 11 years and have developed my skills through a wide range of musical experiences. I hold a Higher Extended Diploma in Music Performance and Production. Throughout my journey, I have composed original classical music, collaborated within the music industry, performed with symphony orchestras, and appeared as a soloist with an orchestra. My performance experience covers a diverse range of musical styles, including Irish, Bollywood, South American, Italian, Flamenco, Texan, Middle Eastern, Afrobeat, and English music. I have also performed with various bands, performing arts groups, and theatre productions, allowing me to develop not only my technical ability but also my understanding of how to engage an audience and create memorable performances. The key thing I learned from these experiences are delivered in my body language and manners as a classical musician which not only shows musical ability, but shows art and creativity which I try to bring with each piece of music. Every performance is an opportunity to create a unique experience. Whether performing a timeless classical piece or a modern favourite, I aim to deliver music with the same energy, passion, and emotion as hearing your favourite artist perform it live.

We can’t recommend Yasin highly enough. He was incredibly attentive since our first contact, always so friendly and polite. On the day, he was extremely professional and supportive. He made our day even more special, and we knew from the beginning that he was the right choice. It wouldn’t have been the same without him playing our songs for such a special moment. A big thank you to Yasin for being part of our special day!

We cannot recommend Yasin highly enough! From start to finish, he was absolutely fantastic. Despite the extreme weather on the day, he arrived promptly, fully prepared, and performed flawlessly. His professionalism and dedication really stood out. Yasin created the perfect atmosphere for our event and played every genre we requested with incredible skill. So many of our guests were genuinely surprised to discover the music was being played live because he sounded that good! His talent is exceptional, and he seamlessly adapted to every style we asked for. What impressed us even more was how he connected with all of our guests. Everyone, from the younger crowd to the older generation, thoroughly enjoyed his performance. On top of being an incredibly talented musician, Yasin was warm, friendly, and an absolute pleasure to work with. If you’re looking for a violinist who can play any genre and elevate your event, Yasin is the person for the job. Thank you so much, Yasin, for making our day so special.

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

My clients love my kind, warm, and welcoming personality, alongside the great quality of my performance and sound. I focus on creating a friendly, inviting atmosphere while delivering beautiful, professional music that makes every guest feel truly welcome.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

Theatres, concerts, orchestras, churches, weddings, birthday parties, special students award ceremony, private events, charities

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

My musical journey is shaped by two powerful influences: the virtuosic technique and precision of Roman Kim, and the invaluable mentorship of my Maestro, Raffaele Pagano, who is recognised as the UK's second most booked violinist.

What is the most high profile gig you've performed?

A major highlight of my career was performing at One Marylebone for a prestigious excellence award ceremony at just 19 years old. It was a true privilege to participate in an event alongside Yury Revich, the internationally renowned, award-winning classical virtuoso and composer

Do you have different line-up options?

Yes, I offer a range of line-up options, from solo violin performances with backing tracks to duos and larger string ensembles. Each option can be tailored to suit your event style, venue size, and atmosphere.

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

I’ll be more than happy to find an alternative timing and I’m always flexible with bookings. If timing changes slightly in the run up to the event, just let me know.

How much time do you need to set up?

It takes roughly 20 minutes to set everything up for me. However, I always tend to arrive to the event 1:30-2 hours in advance; so I can get to meet the organisers and make sure I’m prepared fully for the event. Live performance always requires flexibility and patience, and that’s what I promise to bring with me!

Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?

Absolutely!! My set list it filled with tons of different styles of music and pieces you could choose from. The set list is just a demo of what pieces I’ve been asked to perform in the past. So please feel free to add, request or share any songs you wanted to hear in advance, so I can provide the best possible performance for you.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Certainly! I carry my own instrument and PA. If you also wished to have a full recording of your event, I offer a fully recorded video of the music and your event, if necessary.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

As a musician, my job is to play every possible musical piece on my instrument. I’m always keen to learn more songs! So please don’t see my set list as a “set in stone”. Most likely songs chosen out of my playlist are the ones I’ve already played before. Otherwise I’m more than happy to learn specific pieces for £20 which could be added as an add on.
