Miss Mae's Many Modes

Vanessa-Mae's been around for a long time. She's a classically trained concert violinist who still receives criticism for stepping through borderlands that classically trained violinists are not supposed to tour. She writes her own music, performs fantastic covers of century-old classical masterworks, and endeavors into country, jazz, hip-hop, rock, and others. Her style can be a bit showy, a bit hyperbolic freelancer, but regardless she has enormous talent, and unfortunately continues to be slighted by "purist" musical types. Despite these senile outcries, worldwide she's proven that violins can take part in crafting hits, and that stifling musical categories can't restrain creative mixtures. Hope you like her work.
