"Sweetness" Audio Sample

In a time of countless sound-alike bands and musicians, Lili Haydn is a true original. That’s made clear in the opening seconds of Light Blue Sun, her debut album for Arista, with a mix of soaring violin, hypnotic-groovy beats, sensuous pop hooks, and vocals alternately passionate and breathy.

A child prodigy, Lili grew into, as George Clinton describes her, “the Jimmy Hendrix of the violin.” She has worked with everyone from Clinton to Jimmy Page and Robert Pant, Sting, Josh Groban, and the LA Philharmonic.

Jimmy Page and Robert Plant, who first saw her perform during a lengthy residency at LA’s notorious Viper Room. They were so impressed that they brought her to their show the next night at the Forum and brought her onstage to solo on Kashmir. That quickly led to Lili and her band joining the Led Zep alums as an opening act on their US tour. Sting, Josh Groban, Christina Aguilera, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic, The Rolling Stones, Porno for Pyros and the LA Philharmonic are just a few of her other studio and concert credits.
