Caryn Lin

Electric Violinist & Composer

Bio

Caryn Lin is a classically trained violinist who became an innovative electric violinist. Her music is described simply as Magical & Mesmerizing, like Light Traveling Thru A Prism. It is the transcendent marriage between melody & atmosphere. The Cherry Hill, NJ native studied with Philadelphia Orchestra’s Larry Grika, & went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in violin performance from Northwestern University. After graduation she studied for a brief period in Germany with violin virtuoso Suzanne Lautenbacher.

Years of concentrated experimentation with sound results in a live show that is spectacular. Caryn plays her 4, 5, & 6 string electric violins & uses sound effects made for electric guitar. By using the technique of looping, she is able to create on the spot recordings with limitless layers of sound. These live recordings are sometimes combined with pre-recorded tracks of her own music. If we must choose a category, it is NEW AGE.

Caryn has performed in a very wide variety of venues: The Kimmel Center, Lincoln Center, The Crayola Crayon Factory, Six Flags Great Adventure, A Monastery in the French Alps, Yoga Studios, Fashion Shows, Community Venues. & hundreds of thousands of kids in schools. Her music has been featured on MTV & on over 150 international radio stations including Sirius/XM satellite. Both she & her music appear in the movie Philadelphia.

Currently a Sixth studio album is being recorded !!!!
