I am first and foremost a professional classical violinist, and I also play the viola and cello to create my full and lush string section sound

 In addition, I utilize the piano, percussion, electric guitar, acoustic guitar, electric bass and synths in many of my productions

For the instruments I don't personally play,  I tap into my incredibly talented network of friends that I've made throughout the years; clarinet, trumpet, french horn, trombone, accordion. If you need a noise, I know where to find it!

In a world of MIDI, I bring buoyancy and breath to my productions by prioritizing live instrumentation, never shying away from incorporating modern production elements to create a sound that’s both current and timeless

My ability to listen — whether that’s to your music, vision or intentions, I have a sharpened sense for how to best enhance and support whatever project I’m involved in

I’m passionate about every project I work on and will treat your project, be it small or large, with the same care and attention to detail that I would for my own music

Because there are many variables when it comes to a project, it’s hard to give a number given the range of work I do. I work hard to tailor projects around a client’s budget and have many routes available to achieve their goals. As a freelancer, I’m able to offer specialty services, flexibility in schedules, and direct personal communication.
