Kirsty Bows

The Electric Violinist Stretching the Limits of Music and Prestige Events

Few can leave one in such a trance-like state, yet with the same comportment of mastery as Kirsty Bows, South Africa's electric violin virtuosa. She has been dropping jaws across the globe as one of few in the classical world to pull off something quite like it. From strutting down the catwalk to performing on a concert stage to entertaining aboard luxury yachts, she is redefining what it means to be a modern artist, and she's at the forefront with her signature glove and electric violin.

Kirsty's Performances

She opened for Maroon 5's PJ Morton in Cape Town and made waves. She has also featured in some international campaigns, such as the global advertisement of Neom City, and she performed at the HSBC Rugby 7s in December 2023. It was those viral videos of her inimitable style and mastery over the violin that has sold her to the world. Now crowned BASA 2024 Artist of the Year, Kirsty has charmed everyone—right from Siya Kolisi to his wife Rachel at the launch of the Kolisi Foundation.

Multi-talented Kirsty is an actress, activist for body positivity, besides being the keynote speaker raising audiences from her power-filled performance at TedX Mandela Day 2024. She remains really actively involved with the Lalela Project, mentoring future leaders in both South Africa and New York City.

An Icon on and Off the Runway

One of her most iconic moments came on the runway for Jacques La Grange's collection for Autumn/Winter 2023, where she made a very electrifying performance of Set Fire to the Rain. Kirsty is a lot more than a performer, however: she is one who makes music a visual art, which is why her violin performance lets one fully feel as if they have seen, felt, and heard it all. She is literally the topping for any celebration or event.

A Beacon of Power

Kirsty is a case of being inspirational and a beacon of empowerment. She travels the world as a motivational speaker, fielded to groups of people about breaking barriers within the music industry. She is kind to society by mentoring future leaders with the Lalela Project. Hers is a body of redemptive music that really keeps her among the most in-demand acts on earth.
