Playing violin since the age of three, and piano since the age of five, she recorded her first album with her all-violin quartet called 'Zimrah' at the young age of twelve. Saraphina won numerous Kiwanis festival awards growing up and has since gone on to win the concerto competition at York University, as well as the talent portion of Miss World Canada.
She graduated from the University of Toronto with a BA in Violin Performance and completed her ARCT from the Royal Conservatory of Music. In the second year of her undergraduate studies, Saraphina began playing the electric violin. Doing so inspired her to then pursue a Master's Degree, for which her thesis topic was the accompaniment of live instrumentation with DJs and popular music. She then studied at York Univerity where she completed her Master's Degree under the tutelage of the late Jacques Israeliev
Saraphina has become globally renowned for her work as an electric violinist and performs for high-profile events across the globe, such as various NBA teams, and luxury brand events. She has also opened concerts for A-list artists including Diana Ross, Kendrick Lamar, Usher, and Gwen Stefani. She recently performed the world premiere of "Saraphina Violin Concerto" which was a concerto written for her with accompaniment by an Orchestra.
