“Zhenya was outstanding and easy to work with. Her ability to be flexible with our run of show and professionalism allowed us to work with here for multiple events. ”
Overview
Hello! My name is Linton and I am a violinist. I've been playing for 15+ years. I studied at Berklee College of Music in Boston Massachusetts. I was concertmaster for the Berklee Contemporary Symphony Orchestra, and performed a solo for Lord of The Rings Composer Howard Shore.
In 2015, I released my first CD and won a trip to the MTV awards to meet Ariana Grande at the Forum in California. I have played violin in a commercial for NIKE with Kyrie Irving, Jason Tatum and the Gronk, played in a recoding session for the Zac Brown band, performed for Aerospace company Lockheed Martin, featured in a commercial for brand "47", played 100+ events, and more.
I would love to play for your event!

October 12, 2025Truly a Highlight of Our Wedding
Linton is a truly gifted musician who added so much class and elegance to our wedding. He played for both our ceremony and cocktail hour, and his music completely elevated the atmosphere. He provided a thoughtful list of song options to help guide us, but also seemed capable of playing anything we requested. Linton arrived early, looked sharp in a suit, and carried himself with complete professionalism throughout the day. His talent, reliability, and warmth made him such a joy to work with. He was very reasonably priced and absolutely overdelivered. We can’t recommend him highly enough!

May 12, 2025Amazing Violinist
We had the absolute pleasure of having LJViolinist play at our wedding ceremony, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, he was incredibly easy to work with—professional, laid-back, and attentive to what we envisioned for the day. His music added so much beauty and emotion to the ceremony, truly elevating the entire atmosphere. Our guests couldn't stop raving about how much they enjoyed it. He brought a special energy and elegance that made our wedding even more memorable. Highly recommend!

February 23, 2024Awesome Job!
I booked LJ for my wedding. Throughout the process he was responsive and put my fiancé (now wife) at ease. His song catalog was pretty extensive so song selection was seameless. Though I wasn't around for the majority of his performances I received positive feedback around his performances. I would definitely book LJ again for future events!

December 11, 2023Such a talent!
Lj provided the musical entertainment at a gathering I had last weekend. He was professional, kind, easy to approach with requests - just an overall joy to have around. I asked him to stay longer and he easily accommodated the extended time. All the guests were raving about him. I'd happily hire him again for future events.
