About
Jessica Platt

The Violin Hacker

Jessica Platt is an internationally accomplished violinist whose performances transcend borders, genres, and generations. From the concert halls of Europe to stages across the United States, her artistry speaks a language both timeless and modern — merging classical tradition with a contemporary edge.

Her journey began in a musical household, but it was a year-long recovery from nerve damage — during which she could not play — that deepened her connection to the violin. That period of silence instilled an unwavering appreciation for every note.

Holding undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral degrees in Violin Performance — along with a minor in Vocal Performance — Jessica has led orchestras, performed internationally, and collaborated with icons including Rod Stewart, Barry Manilow, Frank Sinatra Jr., and the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. She is equally at home in a rock arena, opera pit, or chamber hall, captivating audiences with her blend of precision and heartfelt expression.
