About Me



Simon Cowell: "Incredible, Just incredible"

Escala have been together for two years after meeting on a tour bus travelling round the UK and Ireland. They were part of the string section of the orchestra and it was there that they became great friends and decided to form a band incorporating both their talent for playing classical music and their love of contempory styles. Escala who are Victoria, Izzy, Chantal and Tasya were classically trained at the Guildhall School of Music, Royal Academy and Royal College of music and have spent years of intense work honing their skills.
