Violeta Vicci is a London-based violinist, vocalist and composer of Swiss-Catalan heritage, weaving layered violin, ethereal vocals and subtle electronics into immersive soundscapes rooted in the natural world.

She began playing the violin at four, gave her concert debut at fifteen and moved to London to study at the Royal Academy of Music. She has since arranged and co-written for Fontaines D.C., Elbow and The Orb, and has performed and recorded with Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, Jónsi (Sigur Rós) and Bat For Lashes, on stages including the Royal Albert Hall, the Philharmonie de Paris, the Leipzig Gewandhaus and Meltdown at the Queen Elizabeth Hall.

Her solo show, a self-contained audiovisual set of live strings, voice and electronics with laser visuals, has taken her to the Barbican, EartH, Glastonbury and Medicine Festival. She has opened for The Orb since 2022, as well as System 7 and Marconi Union, and recently toured the UK supporting Voyage35, including O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire.

Violeta has released five studio albums. Her debut, Autovia, produced by Martin 'Youth' Glover, bridges acoustic and electronic worlds; Mirror Images was hailed by The Strad as "a remarkable concept album"; Cavaglia translates a pristine Swiss valley, its lakes and glaciers into music; and Forest Music, created with film composer Ben Morales Frost, is an imagined journey into the forest. Her latest, Be Human, with pianist Bruno Bavota, celebrates life and connection, with most tracks captured in single takes. Her live EP Fallen Trees comes from her Live Music in Nature series, concerts live-streamed from remote natural locations.

Her music has been played on BBC Radio 3, BBC 6 Music, KEXP and stations across Europe.
