Michelle was a dream to work with. Her skilled cello & violin playing and writing really took my tracks to the next level. I dont think my album would have been the same without her. After working together on several songs via the internet we finally met in person and I had the pleasure of performing live with Michelle at my album release party. She was honestly the star of the show, with her emotive playing. It's always an honor to work with her and I'm sure I will many many more times in the future! More...
How would you describe your ‘style’?
I can play anything a guest would like. Common requests are classical, pop, and soundtrack, but I can also DJ and play along to house/EDM.
What do you love most about your job?
I love meeting new people and using my creative gifts to bring value into the world.
Why should our clients choose you?
I invest more than just my mind into what I do. My client's successes are my successes and vice versa. I do my very best to make sure people in my life are happy and healthy, even if the relationship will be passing. Life, to me, is more than the sum of its parts if you can learn to take care of people in your life, so I work hard and I try to be as responsive, friendly, and flexible as I possibly can be, and I have NEVER settled in the knowledge that I have. I am a lifelong learner and I am always looking for ways to improve myself and my craft.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes! I have a home studio and have fantastic equipment, both audio and video, for streaming great quality performances, provided the client has good speakers. I stream both video and clean audio signals, the sound you get is properly processed through my Digital Audio Workstation, with good compression and reverb and a balanced mix.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
I abide by mask and distancing suggested by the CDC.
Solo Cello
I can play solo for events and sessions. With training and experience from a classical conservatory and the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA, along with several years of professional work (for acts like Eminem, Troye Sivan, Camila Cabello, the Trans-Siberian Orchestra), I have enough experience to play in any style, for any event. I can also arrange and produce form my home studio.
If you are looking for a solo cellist, please reach out. I don't charge anything for an initial consultation and I am happy to answer any questions you have.
Cello with Accompaniment
This is my most popular package! My accompanist plays violin, viola, guitar and piano. We both are trained and have experience in both classical and contemporary styles, and we both can arrange and produce, which means we can accommodate any (yes, any!) style or song request a client might have.
String Trio
I have a roster of 16 killer players, people who've played with some of the hottest acts and renowned orchestras in the world. I pull my ensembles from this small, elite group. We can accommodate any special request you have. I personally arrange each song to fit your event (i.e. wedding ceremony processional). This is a great option for those seeking a string quartet but want to save some money.
String Quartet
String quartet is the quintessential chamber ensemble for events. It is small enough to be affordable for family events, elegant enough to play any repertoire, and big enough to deliver an exquisite, full sound.
My string quartet is filled with members of an elite roster of the best musicians in LA. All of us have played in top orchestras and hot contemporary acts. Please let me know if you have any questions!
Music Video Cellist/Violinist Model
I have performed in many music videos both with self-recorded audio and to represent audio that has been previously recorded. Please inquire for more info!
Music Production
I have a degree in Contemporary Writing and Production from the Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA. I work as a professional string arranger and composer and have experience with songs, compositions, and writing for picture.
Pyraa - Event DJ
If my whole life is music, time spent with my Traktor console has to be the most pure fun, and I can't wait to share that with you! I can bring huge energy of the top 40s, big room house, dance, trap, future bass, and can also bring some mellow energy with dub/tropical/deep house and mellow pop, or a mix of everything. I personally don't enjoy techno, so I'm not the DJ for any raves. Feel free to inquire with any questions!
