ONEVIOLIN is a new artist breaking boundaries between different music genres and preconceptions with his internationally new concept - making cover-versions from global hit-songs using sounds from only one violin. Everything from the drums to the melody is created entirely with the artist's violin.
The person behind ONEVIOLIN is Pekka Niemi, a 31 year old Finnish violinist who studied in London at the Royal College of Music, one of the worlds most prestigious conservatoires. Since a young age he has been working internationally as a violinist, songwriter and string producer. In 2019 he performed alongside the biggest band in Finland, JVG, at Ruisrock and Blockfest music festivals.
​
In the spring of 2020 ONEVIOLIN took part in Finland's Got Talent finishing as the runner-up in the Finals. His performance in the Finals was a mashup of the biggest Finnish hits and consisted of a breathtaking 1,500 tracks of violin. Later in the summer he had his first solo festival performances at Aura Fest and Vaasa Festival.
