ESCALA

ESCALA is one of the world’s longest-lasting professional success stories of the international Got Talent franchise. 2026 celebrates ESCALA’s 18th year as the UK’s most notable electric string quartet, whose first album “Escala”, produced by Grammy™ award-winning Trevor Horn, reached No 2 in the UK Official Albums Chart, between albums by Eminem (No 1) and Green Day (No 3).

ESCALA is made up of best friends Victoria Lyon (violin), Honor Watson (violin), Stephanie Benedetti (viola) and Helen Nash (cello). Between their live shows and inspiring young string players internationally, they continue to write, arrange and record new material, constantly pushing the boundaries of the electric string quartet repertoire.

The Band recently performed for Porsche as part of a ground-breaking drone light show over the River Thames for the UK launch of their new Macan and Taycan electric cars. ESCALA gave multiple explosive live performances of their track Kashmir for Porsche from the balcony of Goodwood House to 150,000 daily spectators throughout Goodwood Festival of Speed in 2023.

ESCALA have worked at events for Facebook, Spotify, Formula 1, Financial Times, Marriott Hotels, William & Son, Chopard, Citadel, BYD Auto, Christian Dior, Professional Footballers Association, La Ciudad de las Ideas, Ageas, Holland Cooper, Iceland, Luxaviation, Bestway and Mastercard.
