I’ve dedicated the past four years to crafting exceptional violins with a distinctive style and my love for music and design fuels my creative passion.

​

After setting up shop and making a few sales, I established the brand Booysenworx.

​

Born and raised in South Africa, I grew up building all sorts of contraptions and established my love of all things engineering at an early age. I moved to the States with my family and only started my first violin lesson at 18. While studying Computer Integrated Machining, I was challenged with a project; to build an electric violin out of aluminum.

​

This is where it all started.

​

I started prototyping while studying guitar building with a local luthier and set out to combine the two disciplines. With my knowledge of guitar building and manufacturing in hand, I started prototyping electric violins as far back as 2018 while doing gig work and retail to finance my early projects.

​

Finally satisfied with my years of work, I founded Booysenworx to share my violins with the world.
