Lili Haydn

Lili Haydn is a professional musician, composer, and actress. As a child, she pursued a career as an actress; at age eight she discovered the violin and began to focus on classical music. She was born in Toronto, Canada on December 25, 1969.

After graduating from Brown University with a bachelor's degree in Political Science, she started composing original songs and became one of the most requested session violinists around Los Angeles. By the time she signed with Atlantic in 1997, she had played with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Josh Groban, Porno for Pyros, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Hootie & the Blowfish, Tom Petty and Robert Plant & Jimmy Page. In addition, she has played with Sting, Herbie Hancock, Brandy, Tony! Toni! Tone! and No Doubt. George Clinton calls her "the Jimi Hendrix of the violin".

Her parents are actress/comedienne Lotus Weinstock and video artist David Jove. They allowed her to choose her own first name; for a while, she went by "Helicopter."

As a child actress, Haydn may be best remembered as the young, smart and sassy daughter, Belinda Capuletti, from the 1983 Rodney Dangerfield movie "Easy Money". [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0085470/]
