  • The Violin Prodigy with Perfect Pitch - Chloe Davidson

    Episode 12:

    On this episode of Kelowna Music, we sat down with Kelowna's very own Chloe Davidson to chat about being a professional musician, having perfect pitch, songwriting, and more.  Chloe is a full-time professional musician. She's a violinist, a teacher, a songwriter, a performer, and a creative. Using a violin, looper, and voice as her tools of choice, Chloe Davidson creates music full of authenticity and wonder. From a young age, Chloe has used music as a vehicle of self-expression, but was taught right away that the higher purpose of the art she created was to be a gift to those around her.
