Violet Blitz is a young musician and audio engineer working in recording studios, live sound, theater, and film.
Originally from Bethesda, MD, she is currently a senior at Tufts University in Medford, MA. Majoring in Music, Sound, and Culture and minoring in Music Engineering and Film and Media Studies, her courses touch on everything from jazz theory to postmodern film to the political impacts of music. She has ten years of percussion experience as a jazz vibraphonist, rock drummer, orchestral percussionist, and marching band drum major.
Her hobbies of tabletop game design, film production, and science fiction writing also motivate her interests in contemporary composition, interactive sound art, and experimental recording techniques.

Violet is spending her final semester at Tufts finishing up major projects and preparing for post-academia life. She’s preparing for her Senior Recital, engineering a to-be-announced EP with a local band, and scoring a horror-comedy short film. She also just started freelancing with MockingBird Music, running audio for local student and community theater.
Currently looking for audio opportunities in Boston for Summer 2025 and beyond!
