Cello For Your Music

Cello that moves people is all in the details. Let’s record a cello track your fans will want to hear again and again.

I bring thousands of hours of experience recording cello in mixes, and play everything from classic strings to metal.

 

Music is a gift and a language, and I'm not here to judge anyone's journey or process. I'm here to add awesome cello and have a good time doing it!

For studio days and live shows:

  • I add emotional depth and help tell the song's story

  • I work fluently by ear, chord chart, or sheet music

  • Very familiar with Americana, pop, rock, and classical

  • Feedback is always welcome – I'll adjust and deliver.

In the recordings below, you'll hear my cello doubling guitar lines (Barbwire Bouquet), playing a bass line in orchestral style (Still I Wait), and improvising a solo (Shelter from the Storm).
