The first time I heard Volt was in 2015, with his blues-soul-funk band – The Vintagers, fronted by his brother Whim. I was simply blown away by the pure energy of his violin that was creating a unique sound and twists on timeless classics like Sam Cooke’s “You Send Me”, Clapton’s “Old Love”, Steve Wander’s “Isn’t She Lovely”, and more…
His sound simply transports you to another dimension where the power of music is the only thing that matters. It makes the time stop and washes all the worries away.
Volt has recently become a 3Dvarius ambassador, making his performance even more interesting with a 5-string line 3Dvarius violin.
