Vivian Luo is a classically trained violinist that performs top 100 hits and mashups on her electric violin. She started violin lessons at the age of 8 and has now played the instrument for over 27 years. She graduated from Columbia University and worked in finance for five years, first in New York City as an investment banker and then in Boston as a private equity associate. A few months after she moved to Boston, she started street performing with a friend who would DJ while she played electric violin, and soon playing covers of her favorite songs in Harvard Square or the MBTA stations became her favorite weekend hobby. A few videos of her performing in various MBTA stations and in downtown Boston went viral and her coworkers in her finance job nicknamed her the firm's first "professional panhandler."
Three years after moving to Boston, Vivian transitioned to playing violin as her full time career, performing for corporate events, private parties and weddings throughout Boston in addition to regularly busking at Faneuil Hall and across downtown Boston.
