- Rolling Stone called her music "fiery and virtuosic..." George Clinton called her "the Jimi Hendrix of the violin."
Lili Haydn has released four critically acclaimed major label recordings as a solo artist, appeared on numerous TV shows, including the Tonight Show and the HBO hit Californication, toured the world, and collaborated with legendary artists such as Herbie Hancock, Sting, Jimmy Page and Robert Plant, the LA Philharmonic, and George Clinton, to name a few. In addition to Lili's extensive recording and touring career, Lili's music has been licensed for TV, film, and commercials. In 2009, Lili began scoring films, earning a fellowship to the Sundance Film Institute Composer's Program, and has ten feature films/documentaries to her credit, including Zeitgeist: Moving Forward, (2011), Somewhere Between (2012) The Sublime and Beautiful (2013) and ANITA by Academy Award winner Freida Lee Mock (2014). Lili will release her 5th studio record, LiliLand in 2014.
In her TEDxOlympicBlvdWomen performance, Haydn performs, and explains how her view of life and activism grew from the seed of her mother's advice to her as a child learning to play the violin: "If you can hear it, You can play it! If you can imagine it, you can create it!"

What a wise mother she had! I sure wish I never quit playing the violin after a short 4 years! Can I imagine picking it up again at 55?
Pick it up again!!
Yes you can all you have to do is hear it with your heart and play it with your heart I am a musician who has just started out again on the keyboard after over 40 years away from the piano I hated it as a child but now I love it and understand the octave differences which makes music so much more enjoyable. So you are never to old I am planning on taking up the violin next myself because I figure it will not be that hard to learn as I have been bitten by the sound of the violin in June this year and I have promised myself that I will teach myself to play the violin.
of course you can :) its never too late to start learning something new, or go back to it.
Tracy Monteforte. - of course you can! I'm back playing at 61! I'm rubbish but its great fun. Go for it. Nothing is impossible
Tracy Monteforte I’ve just seen your post in September 2019 and I must say even at 59 why not pick it up again? I am 67 and started playing guitar at about 14! Never had the ego to be great nor the patience to learn more! But I still play just for the pleasure of playing!
I discovered Lili Haydn from a cd that was in a binder I bought from a thrift store. And fell in love. Every song was great.
Amazing. A serendipitous purchase to be sure. A precious reminder that magic can be found in the strangest-and most unexpected-places. ...¡cheers!...
WOW - just when you thought you'd seen nearly everything, you are floored by the presence of greatness and the feeling is humbling...thank you Lili
Weird confession that led me here: I've been inexplicably in love with this woman since I saw her for 30 seconds in Not Quite Human. I watched a "Where Are They Now?" video and I can't believe how talented she is, how incredibly far she has come, and everything she's done and overcome through the years. I'm truly impressed... And still in love, obviously
pretty intense , Lili's great and the bass & keys really have perfect timing
I left my comment before I finished watching and feel I have to add more.
Today I heard greatness!
blessed to know your mother and to remember the little girl Lili as well. she would be so proud , i love your music ,feeling such joy to hear and see you
Deeply emotional violin and voice! Great to watch this love you woman.
Extraordinary. Greatness as being LADY and a human being. Big respect for her and her music.
I loved my mother dearly, but I wish I had a mother who could have told me these words. Maybe I would have been what I always wanted to be. But I don't give up even as a senior. Thank you for sharing this video. Great music and great performer.
She's dope cuz she plays what she feels. Period
Stumbled upon this video and the last song hands down is one of the most powerfully written and played song I do believe I ever recall hearing played -- and I have been a musician my entire life (bass player)! Incredibly sung and played!
I've been a huge fan for years. Lili is pure awesome!
i first heard of her 2 years ago after listening to her violin rendition of 'maggot brain' by eddie hazel. if anyone reading this enjoys Lili's style i highly recommend giving it a listen. very impactful.
Trippiest violin sound I have ever heard. Amazing!
I saw her perform as an opening act for a Robert Plant and Jimmy Page Concert in the late 90s
Chris Marello that must have been incredible
That would have been a hard act for Led Zepplin to follow.
Chris Marello q
"That would have been a hard act for Led Zeppelin to follow"
Are you drunk or something?
"My Mom said I could!" Love it!!!
so beautiful im speechless
Welcome to my club.
what an awesome woman, incredible background, beautiful in every way ...
... 'I'm just me'. Exactly. Thank you.
God I like this girl alot, she really feels what She's doing.
Not fair so much talent is bestowed onto just one person.
that's is freedom i hear in the music
Why haven't i heard of this woman before today??? Amazing.
Really great this is how it should be show youre heart
love you so much Lili..
Never be hurt and never be sorrow by showing your simplicity and to give your heart to beloved ones because the more you love there must be a chance to become more you hurt so be careful and get rid of out of this problem you need have to become more stronger to accept the challenges of love it happens once only in your life time and showed you the feelings of love and the heart never hears anyones when it was happened and till your death it always feels you sometimes right or sometimes wrong only confusing so never be late to set up your mind to the area of a positivity and enjoy ur life
Like a king of your queen.
Simply amazingly inspirational.
Wow, magic. Awesome post. Thank you.
This is wonderful. Loved hearing the stories about her mom. And, of course, her playing and singing... Amazing.
First song was the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto at 0:05
She ended with the Mendelssohn Concerto again at 2:10
First was a classical version the second was rock
What a powerful story... And what a beautiful woman 😎🎶🎻
Power and Pain at the same time
whoa! I just fell in love.
Very cool Woman I admire her courage
that was some amazing violin skills
Nope. They were just average.
This is to music what rap is to singing
fantastic!
omg..what a voice!!realy impressed ; )
A great example of a person being one with their instrument!
Thank You for sharing your inspiring story. ❤️
yea... you glang it Lily!
Such passion! Sorry to hear of your experience with the record producer, but know there are goo and bad in all genders, races and whatever else defines us humans. You have risen above. Keep sharing your passion and message.
Lindsy & Lili two of the BEST!!!!
THE SOUND OF YOUR VOICE IS AS BEAUTIFUL AS YOUR VIOLIN
Wow.
Wonderful
Brilliant and inspiring.
I like that saying from your mom..."If you can imagine it, you can create it ... if you can hear it you can play it" "Lotus Weinestock" Lili Haydn
the start sounds like Mendelssohn´s violin concerto in E minor
Because it is.
Odd that with a speech like this she performs a cover version.
SO EPIC ♥️
Can't believe she was the youngest daughter of Rodney Dangerfield in the movie Easy Money. Unless im mistaken. She was even seen in the movie playing some scales on the violin. How weird and amazing. Wow.
Right, now listen to Giuseppe Tartini, and see if you can play it just by hearing.
Belinda. I can’t eat all my home fries. You want some home fries??- Easy Money 😂😂
a big fan. you do no wrong
Luv Lili!
cool music
You are very awesome on your Violin.
Easy Money
Good on ya love
love you and lotus xoxooxoxoxoxo
Maggot Brain ... those who know ...know.
Yep
I thought panic version was good but this is great
Buckethead.
wow
Luv your message!
Same here
She is out there amongst the stars, the idiots who didn't list her in the top ten must have been tone deaf
WOW Meg Ryan look a like. Great performance!
love all these "alpha males" in the comment section so "alpha" that they automically say she has no talent because of things she said....shes more alpha than them
Top woman
*She **_could_** be high.*
NIce! : )
wait hold up stop the press,flag on the play,didnt know that was the same little girl from the movie easy money,with rodney dangerfield,i loved her in that movie ,,she was funny
this instrument makes the lissener medicinal,end the player sick while playing
👍🏻👍🏼
For those who've heard her other music, is her music microtonal? Especially her album "Lili"
eventually, she is an haydn
she's Jove's daughter.
ripping the violin? did not know that was a thing
I wonder if she is related to the famed Joseph Haydn (1732-1809)
I hope not, or he's rolling in his grave.
Why haven't I heard violin through a wah pedal before?!?!
kuda!
the legal way to bee hii
Is that a donated Strad.?
More like firewood.
she is hi on the pot im telling
LOL
When I heard the name of that Harpy Hillary, I was done.
Me too. The butcher of Bengazi.
You were done a long time before that... remember the time that Pat Nixon stuck a fork in you? Yeah you were tender THEN, but now you’re old, dry, and stringy. Too bad they didn’t know when to stop cooking you
YOu got "72" comment now, always a "rattle-snake" in the vilolin. Comedy is College, then Courage. Theen U crank the VLM, & say "COOL.". The "trick" is stay cool to the game. Only spk-up when asked for.
"If you can hear it, you can play it" said nobody who has heard dream theater, meshuggah, fleshgod apocalypse or any other extreme or prog metal band
Man, I wish. I know dudes that are just like, "That's a 64th note." Edit: except they're not dudes. You know what I mean though.
If you can hear it, and you can sing it.
you can play it.
learning to "hear slowly" is the real trick.
If you tell yourself it's too hard or even impossible, you're doomed from the start. It really is true, if you can hear it, you CAN play it. There are only so many notes. Transposing is a skill like reading or writing or even speaking. Anyone can do it given they are willing to put in the time and work.
That's really silly considering at least one of the bands you listed heard at least one of the other bands you listed and though "Hey, I can play that."
You can learn anything you want, it's just a matter of how long it would take to practice it and get it up to speed. How long it takes for you to learn something is directly proportional to your level of technique. For example before I went to music school, with my self-taught technique it would take me over half a year of slow & steady practicing to perfect just one movement Bach lute suite. After my first year, that number dropped to 3 months. It would have kept going like that but I to stop playing due to a very bad RSI. oh well ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I wonder if she could play my fart. After all you can hear it. She would probably need a cello to recreate the True Tone.
Wat are you plaing? .. Qué mamarrácho!
Hillary Clinton?...really!!!!
George Clinton of Parlament Funkadelics
How I despise the sound of an electrically amplified violin.
Sounds like you should try broadening your musical horizons.
That's a personal problem
I would say she should have a wah tailored to her instrument. That was clearly a guitar wah,and it cut her highs in a weird way. When she went full sweep it was a little shrill. But still incredibly badass
carolineleiden:Haha!
I don't mind it. I built one as a deviation from building guitars. It depends on what you want out of it.
Another hippie musician with hippie parents trying to pass off "do whatever you feel" as virtue. Whatever.
Trump's message
Not feelin it
Sounds like a lot of Noise!!!
So, where was she when they were cutting music out of the city's schools ? Come to visit the mom's will you ? A $50 violin can easily get that kid off the streets ? Learn a bit of math via en route ? Violins don't screech btw, the players do that !
I lost interest when she started whining about men.
congrats TED you finally got y'seff to agitprop and ideas worth flushing. i got to about 8 mins of this virtue encrusted excretia -- now where's my money?
waste of time as they show off in costumes to try to look hip. they aren't
Total crap
This lady needs education and reality, not more unguided emotion. Self-righteous.
555harv I heard you say "...needs obedience. Free." Is that what you meant? Isn't calling someone self-righteous projecting?
Even a toddler teaches itself to walk. We get knowledge from passion and need, not from lunch and recess bells. Convictions are emergent.
I think the dreamers of this world are the ones who drive it the most. We're the ones who make a change for better. Education is important, but motivation is key and motivation stems from emotions.
I think you need an education.
no amount of education would give you perspective, and the self-righteousness is yours.
Lotus 🪷 invested everything of hers on you.. n it's really paying.. god bless her soul.. and you're an amazing daughter Lily.. She'll always remain alive in the world of comedy n in you.
Drivel
A talk by a leftist, for leftists.
You only see things in the color of politics yes she is a leftist thinker but at least she has an honest passionate and fresh breath of air and she genuinely cares about her cause you need to be able to look at both sides of the fence you are blind if you can't appreciate her music for what it is and you need to be able to listen to what she has to say your opinion is not the only opinion in the world you have a sty in your eye take out the sty in your eye and see the whole picture for what it is.
@omnipop - a boring comment by a boring commentist
A talk by a talented person, for talented people.

I came here for mindsets about making music, not politics, Yek. Well, it's more something 'liberal' then.
