Biography

[edit]

Stoppard started taking violin lessons at the age of four.[2] She grew up in Surrey, and was trained under the Suzuki method.[1]

At the age of eighteen, Linzi Stoppard signed her first modelling contract, while still teaching and playing session violin.[3] As of 2010 is currently signed to Models 1.[4]

At nineteen, she was spotted by the music producers Oliver Adams and Praga Khan during a violin session. This resulted in her fronting Tattoo of Pain, an American heavy metal group.[5] Linzi Stoppard then formed a duo called Babe Instinct, for which she provided the vocals.[5] Later, she went back to electric violin and gave several performances.

In June 2004, she married Will Stoppard, son of Tom Stoppard and Dr. Miriam Stoppard.[2][5] In 2006, the director Stephen L'Heureux offered her a cameo role in his next film, after he saw her performing at the Cannes Film Festival.

At the end of 2007 Linzi joined Ben Lee to form a heavy-metal duo known as 'FUSE'.[1] FUSE has performed at several events, including C Music TV's European launch event at the 2008 Cannes Television festival[6] and the 2009 British Red Cross International Fundraising Committee Gala Ball.[7]

In 2009, FUSE signed a record deal with Edel AG Records, releasing their debut album "FUSE" the following year. The album released, in 2010, features a version of Coldplay's Fix You.[8]

FUSE are also keen educators and were interviewed in the "European String Teachers Association" magazine in the summer of 2010.[9]

In September 2010, Linzi held Fashion for the Brave in London for Help for Heroes, the Household Cavalry Operational Casualties Fund, and ABF – The Soldiers Charity.[10]

In a collaboration with society jeweller Theo Fennell, Ben Lee & Linzi Stoppard created the world's first 24 carat gold plated electric violins encrusted with diamonds, sapphires and rubies.[11]
