Hi there! I am a Session Musician, violinist, performing artist, and I am able to deliver a wide range of string parts: violin, viola, and cello, recorded in layers. I perform on an English antique Robert Fent 213-year-old acoustic violin, and a seven-string viper - Wood Violins electric violin. My electric instrument's low string is tuned to a low Bb - one tone below Cello range. I can record my acoustic violin, and cover viola and cello on the viper through direct input. I work fast and am able to deliver all three parts to you, with multiple layers the latest within a couple of days. I do session work regularly and have just completed a remote recording project for a Punjabi Artist. I charge $200 per song, and we can decide on a bulk rate for shorter cues. ~ I am a passionate musician and composer with extensive experience performing and teaching. My musical journey began at a young age and has taken me across various genres and disciplines. I thrive on collaboration and love sharing music with audiences and students alike. I believe in the transformative power of music and strive to create impactful experiences through my art.
