Overview
My passion - is to create unforgettable musical experiences. I’ve been playing the violin since I was seven. And through the years I pour my heart and soul into every note I play, bringing an emotional touch to any occasion.
My repertoire spans a wide range of styles, from soothing ballads and jazz to energetic rock and contemporary hits. No matter the genre, I aim to connect with my audience and make each performance truly unique.
Based in Chicago and serving the North Suburbs, I’m here to help make your event extraordinary with the beauty of live music.

August 13, 2025Exceptional!
Working with Yulya was absolutely phenomenal. She is responsive, insightful, and incredibly thoughtful. On the day of my proposal, the weather was shattered storms and she was patient and considerate with the timeline so everything came out perfect. She played her role seamlessly and performed our song with passion and elegance, elevating the moment ten fold. I could not recommend her enough!!

March 20, 2025Perfect for our wedding day!
Julia is an incredible performer and lovely to work/prepare with. We had chosen to have a violin cover played alongside an audio track and Julia spent days perfecting the different parts to go into the track as well as the melody that would be played live for our first dance. She also played during the ceremony and added so much magic to one of the most memorable days of our lives. Can't overstate how grateful we were to have her!

March 19, 2025Yulya is a game changer!
Yulya is a game changer! I’ve heard her in various settings from a solo artist, to small ensembles, to church groups and I’ve hired her for a Christmas program and she always adds an amazing touch and elevates the music with her beautiful touch. As a bandleader, I always feel more confident when Yulya is part of the program, as she is such a skilled professional!

What to expect
A performance that goes beyond music — it’s an experience, a journey, a moment that lingers long after the last note fades.

Whether it’s an elegant solo performance, an electrifying collaboration with a band, or a mesmerizing background melody setting the perfect atmosphere, my violin adapts to the mood and energy of the event.
For you, I offer a tailored experience — whether you need a soulful, performance, a modern crossover with contemporary sounds, or violin for the party filled with energy and movement. My goal is to elevate your event, creating an ambiance that captivates and connects with every guest.
From intimate gatherings to grand stages, I bring professionalism, artistry, and a deep love for music, ensuring that every performance is not just heard but truly felt.
About
I was born in the north of Russia but found my soul in Ukraine, where I grew up and left a piece of my heart. Music has been my language since I was seven. I dreamed of playing the piano, but fate—disguised as my father—placed a violin in my hands instead. And now, I wouldn’t have it any other way.
She is not just an instrument; she is a part of me. She was destined for me long before I was born—before my parents had even met. During the war, my grandfather rescued her, carrying her across two borders for the future generation. My sister and brother were given the piano, but I always knew she was waiting for me.
Together, we have traveled the world. From touring across Russia with a rock orchestra to performing in Moldova, Turkey, and throughout Europe. And now, on the other side of the world, we are bringing our music to the States — one note, one stage, one heart at a time.
Music for me is more than just sound — it’s emotion, depth, and storytelling without words. When I play the violin, I don’t just perform; I create an atmosphere where every note resonates deep within the heart.
From delicate whispers to powerful crescendos, I always wanna be sure that my music will bring you the most beautiful spectrum of emotions. With over 15 years of experience performing across the world I always put all my soul into every performance, making each moment unforgettable.
Whether on a grand stage or in an intimate setting, my violin becomes a voice that speaks directly to you, turning sound into something you can feel. Let’s create something magical together!
Your Yulya Grantova
