Nick Hyde is a Twin Ports-based wedding DJ and violinist, best known for bringing high-energy dance parties to formal events in a suit and tie. But behind the poised exterior lives an alter-ego, the Mad Violin Scientist. Operating from a dark, underground laboratory, Hyde experiments with new ways to fuse violin and technology. These rare live appearances feature wild violin sound experiments, driving dance beats, and a fully synchronized light show that reacts to every note. “Homegrown is my fun opportunity to truly become an artist and unleash MY vision,” Hyde says. When the Mad Violin Scientist emerges, expect the unexpected.
