Hello!
I am a freelance cellist with a performance focus on special events, worship services, improvisations, popular/orchestral music and recording. I am a co-owner of Elite Strings, a award winning string duo, trio or quartet that specializes in weddings and other events. My fiance Daniel Holloway and I founded a group A Couple Cellos and specialize in pop arrangements, recordings and live events.
Occasionally I get to work on movie sets! Notable movie appearances are the cellist in the Netflix’s Red Notice band and I was featured as the Alien Cello Player in Disney’s Loki.
Most recently, I worked as the cellist in 2022 at The Queen’s Ball: A Bridgerton Experience.
here's A little bit of history.
AGE 12
Like most kids, I started my classical studies in the public school system. But I knew I wanted to pursue music as my career when I heard a recording of renowned cellist Jacqueline DuPre performing the first movement of the Elgar Concerto.
HIGH SCHOOL
In high school, I had the honor to perform as principal cellist with the Atlanta Symphony Youth Orchestra, Buckhead Youth Orchestra, and Georgia All-State Orchestra.
COLLEGE
In 2009, I graduated from Georgia State University (Atlanta) with a degree in cello performance, where I studied with cellists Martha Gerschefski and Pamela Devenport.
These days, I do a little bit of everything.
When I am not performing with orchestras or alongside my bandmates, I challenge myself with new genres of music. I love getting out of the "classical" comfort zone and introducing the cello into jazz, bluegrass, heavy metal—as many styles of music as I can.
