Joni Fuller is a sixteen year old singer-songwriter, classically-trained pianist and violinist, making waves on the UK acoustic scene.
'Voices' was recorded in August 2006 whilst Joni was still fourteen and comprises 12 of her original songs. Joni's distinctive style of songwriting and performing encompasses her acoustic, rock and classical influences... no compromises!!
Joni studies violin (first study) and piano at the Junior School at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester. She has been writing songs since she was 8 and was accepted into the Geneva-based Little Dreams Foundation (as a songwriter) when she was 11.
Joni has performed in the UK, across Europe and beyond. Aged 12, she opened at the Casino Barriere (Montreux Jazz Festival) and has since played live at venues ranging from intimate theatres in Paris and Belgium to 60,000 seater stadiums in Germany (during Phil Collins' 2005 World Tour).
Live performances in 2007 included a breathtaking set in Coventry Cathedral during the World Giftedness Conference. Further live shows in Lyon, Lausanne, Manchester and London followed before a live acoustic TV performance during Telethon 2007. In 2008, Joni teamed up with gifted young guitarist Tim de Graauw and has developed her own distinctive acoustic sound; more live shows are to follow...(see Concert Dates for details).
Joni continues to write prolifically and combines songwriting and performing with a demanding classical music training and (of course) ... school!!!
