Since receiving a scholarship to study classical violin at the VCA Secondary School (VCASS) in 2008, Pepi has expanded her influences and passion for contemporary music through studying Jazz, Pop, Bluegrass and Oldtimestyles. Since graduating with a BMus in Music Performance (Improvisation) at the VCA in her home town of Melbourne, Pepi established herself as one of Australia’s up and coming contemporary violinists. At the VCA she studied with renowned multi genre violinists Nigel Maclean, ErkkiVeltheim and Tamil Rogeon, as well as Christopher Hale (bass) and Eugene Ball (trumpet).

Oh Pep! was formed at VCASS with classical guitarist, singer and songwriter Olivia Hally and soon morphed in to afolk/pop band that has been gaining a fanbase ever since. Oh Pep! have toured nationally since 2012 and internationally since 2014, recording three EP’s and two albums along the way.  Their 2016 debut album Stadium Cake was praised as a pop/folk gem by the likes of NPR, KEXP, The New York Times and Paste Magazine and won Best Roots Album atThe Age Music Victoria Awards.
