About this gig

I will record professional Cello for your music.


Hi, I'm Chris Bell. I have played cello for over 22 years, performing 1,100+ live shows and tracking on 40+ studio albums. My playing and compositions have been featured in The New York Times, on CBS Evening News, on NPR, and, recently, on stage at the Grand Ole Opry.

When you hire me, you get a world-class instrumentalist and a professional producer's ear. I hold a degree in audio engineering, ensuring you receive pristine, mix-ready stems.


What I Offer:

  • Genre Versatility: I am highly familiar with Jazz, Metal, Rock, Soul, Hip-Hop, and Classical.
  • Pro Audio Delivery: A single part, or arrangements, with each instrument in a separate audio file.
  • Custom Arrangements: I accept sheet music, MIDI, or demo recordings. Don't have a part written yet? I can compose and arrange the perfect lines based on your instructions.


Studio Gear:

  • Neumann TL103, Sennheiser MD421, Custom Ribbon Mic
  • BLA B12A preamp, White Instruments Passive EQ, RME Fireface 802
  • Acoustic cellos (wooden, or Aluminum), electric cellos: NS cello, Yamaha SVC-210


Please contact me before placing an order to discuss your project!

    I asked Chris to record a cello line for my folk/rock song, and he was so great about getting a sense of the song's vibe, composing a cello line that was great, and then considering different takes to develop the line more. He was GREAT to work with!
