Scott Tixier (FRA/USA) Quartet feat. Shelley Q (USA/PER)
Scott Tixier is an award-winning French jazz violinist, composer and professor recognised as one of today’s leading voices on his instrument.
A six-time GRAMMY® certificate recipient, he has performed and recorded with Stevie Wonder, Elton John, Adele, Pink Floyd, Beyoncé, Hans Zimmer, and Jon Batiste. In 2022, he was featured as soloist in Batiste’s American Symphony at Carnegie Hall, captured in the Netflix documentary of the same name.
Blending jazz improvisation, cinematic sound, and contemporary composition, Tixier has appeared at Carnegie Hall, Madison Square Garden, and Jazz at Lincoln Center, as well as on The Tonight Show, The Late Show, SNL, and the Golden Globes.
His upcoming album Bonfire (Tixland LLC, 2025) is a fully improvised solo violin work following his acclaimed releases Cosmic Adventure and Brooklyn Bazaar. An Associate Professor at the University of North Texas, he founded the pioneering Jazz Strings Program in Commercial Music. Praised by Marcus Miller and Pat Metheny, Tixier continues to expand the expressive range of the modern violin.

SHELLEY Q
Shelley Q is an actress and singer who was born and raised on a farm in Western Australia. After gaining local fame as a singer and performer (frequently taking the stage during halftime at AFL games), Shelley broke through to an international audience, landing the lead role of Karissa in the US social media thriller 1 Million Followers (Amazon Prime and Apple TV), after responding to a worldwide casting call.
Now based in Los Angeles, Shelley is also making waves as a recording artist, with original singles including The Stand and Run to the Moon, which have earned international radio play across the U.S., U.K., and Australia. With film and music careers on the rise, Shelley is quickly becoming a fresh new voice in the American entertainment industry.
