Joana Carvalhas is a Portuguese multi-style violinist actively performing and teaching in Portugal, Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States of America. The classically trained graduate of the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland (UK) constantly explores new musical styles and concepts to create innovative sounds and textures on the violin. She has been expressively developing a unique solo project of original music for violin and loopstation.

Joana's original works stay true to her Portuguese heritage with influences of Celtic folk attributed to her time spent in Scotland. More than a violinist, Joana is a wholesome musician using the violin to express and celebrate music. Joana plays jazz, free improvisation, and dynamic concerts with live looping and special effects.

She has performed across the world and tours often in the US, UK, and different countries in Europe. She is a member of the techno project Vegetale Fatale (Germany) and often collaborates with the indie rock band, The Stellar Anderson Project (UK).
