About
In 2023, I launched Strings for Songs, creating expressive, cinematic string arrangements for songwriters. As a songwriter myself, I bring melodic sensitivity and an instinct for storytelling to every arrangement, combined with a film composer’s sense of scale and texture. Using detailed Spitfire Audio mock-ups alongside live recordings, I can deliver everything from intimate, song-focused parts to full orchestral soundscapes.
AI? I say poo poo to AI! I’m passionate about working with real musicians, keeping some of the UK’s most talented young players in work, and helping the country’s most inspiring studios stay in business. Since launching, I’ve arranged strings for over 60 songs, collaborating with artists including Richard Walters, Ciaran Lavery, Tamzene and Yva. Hire me, and you’re not just adding strings to your song — you’re keeping grassroots music alive. I’m always happy to provide free mock-ups so you can hear the possibilities before committing to a live recording.
Bespoke String Arrangements
I create tailor-made string arrangements for your songs, with a focus on string quartets but adaptable to any scale — from chamber ensembles to full orchestras. You’ll receive detailed mock-ups so you can refine every note before we record live with some of the UK’s top young players.
Recording Existing Arrangements
If you already have an arrangement, I can bring it to life from a score, MIDI mock-up, or audio reference — as hands-on or hands-off as you prefer.
Reworks & Creative Collaborations
I can reimagine songs for piano and strings or transform existing tracks into lush, cinematic arrangements, perfect for sync opportunities or alternative releases.
Live sessions
From single players to full ensembles, I provide arranging, player coordination, score prep, and rehearsal support to ensure your live performance is polished, expressive, and professional.
