About Me

Hello! I'm Vicky Fifield and I am a violinist from Scotland, currently residing in Aberdeen. I graduated from the Royal Academy in London in 2004 where I studied classical violin with Remus Azoitei and jazz with Tim Garland and Stuart Hall amongst others. The tracks here are all my compositions and were recorded with my band Devotion. Our debut album is out now on the F-IRE label and you can buy it by clicking on the link below! I also play with Ben Davis's Basquiat Strings - our *Mercury nominated* album with drummer Seb Rochford is available to buy. On the odd occasion when I'm not racing up and down the country playing the violin I study Graphic Design at Gray's School of Art. It's a mad life. Hope you enjoy the sounds! >>>>>>>>>>>>>>
