Up to five years, Vanessa Mae only had contact with the piano, but his stepfather influenced the incorporation of the violin to the Repertoire of activities of the small Vanessa who also attended classes in classical dance.

To perfect his technique her parents sent her to the Central Conservatory of China in Beijing, where he took classes of violin with a prestigious local teacher, Mr. Lin Yao Ji. In addition, he started the study of the mandarin language and developed practical work for their school of London. Ten years after his parents bought him an expensive violin fabricated by Italian luthier Giusepe Guadagnini, in 1761.

Her musical precocity and natural talent was well seen by the director of the Royal College of Music, who admitted her as a student adjust with just eleven years to take classes with Professor Félix Andrievsky.

In 1992, at the age of fourteen, finished her studies at the Royal College of Music, and two years later, with only 16 years signed a contract with EMI Music to record both classical music as pop.
Thus, in 1995, armed with a new electric violin of the American firm Zeta, Vanessa recorded her first pop album, entitled The Violin Player. This album showed her in a style to which she christened "tecno-acustica fusion".
The creativity of Mike Batt, an expert in instrumental pop music were used for the other tracks on the album.
