"…Lili Haydn’s score,...crescendoes when it should and occasionally rings triumphant." - Variety Rolling Stone called her music “fiery and virtuosic...” George Clinton called her "the Jimi Hendrix of the violin." GRAMMY® winner and EMMY nominee Lili Haydn is a composer, songwriter, singer, and violinist. Well known for her 6 critically acclaimed major label recordings as a solo artist, and her legendary collaborations with the likes of Herbie Hancock, Jimmy Page & Robert Plant, George Clinton's P-Funk All Stars and Hans Zimmer, Lili has taken her unique melodic and harmonic sensibility and emotionally penetrating musical voice into composing for film and television with 19 feature films/documentaries to her credit, and the hit Netflix series Ginny & Georgia, for which she earned an Emmy nomination in 2023 . Lili is a 2x HMMA nominee, BMI Award winner, Sundance Fellow, and winner for Best Music at the Milan International Film Festival. As the daughter of iconic feminist comedienne Lotus Weinstock, and a graduate of Brown University in political science, Lili is a lifelong activist, and believes music and stories have the power to heal and uplift…important now more than ever. "Deeply moving...channeling profound loss into profound art with 'Lullabies for the Brokenhearted,' creating music that exists 'in an in-between place where separation is just an illusion'." ~ SPIN Magazine "Ms Haydn approaches and reaches the ecstatic, lifting the audience literally to heights seldom experienced." - On Stage Los Angeles "...the incredible violinist and singer Lili Haydn literally blew away the public and can understandably be called the Lady Hendrix of the violin." - Hollywoodtoday.net "A mix of neo-psychedelic flower child and rock star virtuoso...Heifetz meet Hendrix." - NPR "Courageously intimate with her audience, Haydn lays into her violin as if it's a wild animal only she can bring to heel. The effect is an emotional magic show...a party of sound...electronica beat, lyrical strings, ethereal voice, and words that resonate in the battered chamber of the human soul." - L.A. Weekly
