FUSE are Linzi Stoppard & Ben Lee, The Rock Prince & Princess of The Violin World.
Fri 18th Sep, 2009
Ben Lee and Linzi Stoppard are FUSE, the rock prince and princess of the violin world. Today at the InterContinental London Park Lane they have signed a global record deal with Edel Records.
FUSE are original and unique - they arent classical violinists, they are rock violinists, pioneering a new unique musical sound for a traditionally classical instrument.
They will release their 12 track debut album Glorious, co-produced by FUSE, later this summer. This is the first time in a long time a UK string act has signed a major deal to a pop/rock label through "traditional" channels.
Ben and Linzi met in 2006. Having both had successful live performance careers, they decided to merge their talents and form FUSE, a one-of-a-kind, glamorous rock, boy-girl electric violin duo.
Linzi Stoppard said: "We're proud and excited to have the platform we've always wanted to help our music reach a wider audience. Its been a while in the making and this deal recognises our hard work and belief that our innovative style will light the way for a new generation of rock violinists."
Ben Lee said: "After touring and recording for other bands it's great to get my own sound out there."
