Luxury Music Experiences for Your Unforgettable Event
Hi, I'm Jada - it's so nice to meet you!
I’m a violinist, creative director, and the founder of Upstate Strings, passionate about bringing elegance and connection to every performance. With a background in classical training and over a decade of experience performing and curating live music, I’ve built my career around creating meaningful, artful experiences that resonate with both musicians and audiences alike.
Here's how Upstate Strings grew into what it is today...
My Story
Who Are Upstate Strings?
Music has been at the heart of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve been playing the violin for over 22 years and have spent the past 12 building Upstate Strings into a leading ensemble for elegant, live events.
I earned my degree in Music Education from Furman University, where I was a member of the scholarship string quartet and the university orchestra — and where the vision for Upstate Strings first began.
Performing is truly my passion, and my journey has taken me to stages across multiple states and venues, including the incredible honor of performing at Carnegie Hall. Through every performance, I strive to bring beauty, connection, and excellence to each event we’re part of.
Upstate Strings brings together talented musicians who blend classical and contemporary styles to create memorable, soulful performances. From weddings to corporate events, our harmonious sound and commitment to excellence elevate every moment.
