In the Studio
Leah is a seasoned recording artist who has spent the last decade in all the major studios around Los Angeles honing and refining her craft. She has added her sound to numerous film/television soundtracks, albums, and singles. She is a fierce sight-reader who can instantly interpret any sheet music placed on her stand, but what truly sets her apart from the average classically-trained cellist is her ability to improvise on the spot, magically creating a stunning cello line from her imagination.

Remote Recording
Leah is now offering remote recording from her affectionately-named Hillside Sounds Studio, her home recording studio in Los Angeles. Thanks to advances in technology, she is able to work with artists, composers, and producers across the globe to quickly record quality string tracks. This cuts out the cost of studio rental and engineering fees saving her clients precious resources and time. Simply send Leah any guiding materials such as reference tracks, string midi files, or a PDF of the music, and she will send back dry, untreated WAV files to be woven into any project.
Equipment:

Apogee Duet
Shure KSM44 Large-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone
All strings for the Amazon original release of the orchestral version of the hit Kygo song “I’ll Wait” were recorded at Leah’s home studio (Hillside Sounds Studios) in Los Angeles.
