I am Brian Cooper, II, a professional concert violinist and recording artist originally from Chicago, Illinois. My musical journey began at just four years old, when I first started learning the violin — a decision that would shape the course of my life. By the age of five, I became an inaugural member of the Make a Joyful Noise String Program at my church home, the Apostolic Church of God in Chicago. That early foundation instilled in me both discipline and a deep appreciation for the power of music.

As I grew in my craft, I had the privilege of studying under and being mentored by respected professional string players, including Edith Yokley, Racheli Galay, Samuel Williams, and Phyllis Calderon. Their guidance sharpened my technique, expanded my musical perspective, and reinforced the standard of excellence I carry into every performance.

As an adult, I have had the honor of joining the Chicago Sinfonietta Orchestra as a guest violinist for numerous concerts throughout the Chicagoland area. These experiences strengthened my versatility as a performer and deepened my commitment to delivering music with precision, expression, and professionalism.

In 2018, I officially launched WeWantCooper, transforming my lifelong passion into a premium live violin brand. Through this platform, I bring elevated musical experiences to weddings, corporate events, and private celebrations. Now based in Charlotte, North Carolina, I am known for delivering a polished, reliable experience with customized music tailored to fit each event perfectly. My goal is simple — to elevate the moment through intentional artistry, refined presentation, and unforgettable sound.

Based in Charlotte, NC, I provide premium live violin entertainment designed to elevate weddings, corporate events, and private celebrations. My work is centered on creating refined musical experiences for couples, event planners, corporate organizers, and hosts who value sophistication, customization, and professionalism. Every performance is thoughtfully curated to complement the atmosphere of the event — from intimate ceremonies to high-profile brand activations. I approach each booking with clear communication, polished presentation, and attention to detail that ensures a seamless experience from inquiry to final note.

What sets me apart is not only how I perform, but how I prepare, present, and personalize each experience. I combine technical excellence with modern versatility, blending classical training with contemporary style to create performances that feel both refined and relevant. I take the time to customize song selections, coordinate seamlessly with planners, and adapt to the natural flow of each event. My presentation is polished, my sound is professional, and my approach is intentional. Clients choose me because they want more than background music — they want a live violin experience that feels elevated, distinctive, and thoughtfully executed.
