Born 1977 or 1978 (age 45–46),[3][4] she studied under Sidney Griller, Itzhak Rashkovsky, Ida Bieler and David Takeno at the Purcell School, Guildhall School of Music and Drama, and the Robert-Schumann-Hochschule in Düsseldorf.[5]

A number of eminent composers have written works for Humphreys, including Sir Peter Maxwell Davies,[6] Sally Beamish,[7] Cheryl Frances-Hoad,[8] Gordon Crosse,[9] Adrian Sutton and Piers Hellawell.[10] She performs standard repertoire and contemporary violin concertos including Thomas Adès's Concentric Paths, Pēteris Vasks's Vientuļais eņģelis (Lonely Angel) and Max Richter's Recomposed: Vivaldi – The Four Seasons, which she recorded in 2019 for Rubicon Classics.[11]

Her recording of Jean Sibelius' Violin Concerto and Humoresques with the BBC National Orchestra of Wales was released in 2021.[12] In the same year, she released sheet music of a number of her own arrangements for violin that she performed during the covid lockdown.[13]

She plays a violin from the circle of Peter Guarneri of Venice.[5]
