Emily Booher on SoundBetter

I've been recording and working in studios for 10 years, and have worked with artists such as Fiona Apple, Jawny, Midland, producer/bassist Tim Lefebvre, and many more! I have a passion for working with artists and specialize in recording parts by ear. I can also make you an entire string section just using my cello!

I’ve been recording and working in studios for 10 years! The main one being Sonic Ranch studios near El Paso, TX, and studios throughout Mexico City. I’ve recorded on countless sessions, specializing in cello improv and part writing on the spot. I’ve worked with artists such as Jawny, Fiona Apple, producer Tim Lefebvre, The Vaccines, Midland, and many more. I love making string arrangements for artists- specializing in cello based sections that mimic a full string section!

    Emily was so awesome to work with! She's as nice a person as she is talented, and that's quite a lot. She's also incredibly patient. Emily created some spectacularly beautiful cello lines for my song, and now it feels complete. It was an absolute honor to work with her, and I hope we get to do it again in the near future!

    Emily is a great musician, very professional and open to try different things other than classical cello pieces, that really comes in handy for contemporary music producers, great attitude as well.

    Amazing work. She understands what music needs and offers unique sounds and ideas. She delivers at every session.

Interview with Emily Booher

  1. Q: How would you describe your style?

  2. A: My style is very lyrical. If I'm playing with a band or artist, I usually gravitate towards complimenting the vocal or guitar parts. I love that cello has its own distinct voice, and a wide range for showing it off.

  3. Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.

  4. A: I record most of my cello parts on the spot just by improv. If I'm in the studio, I love bouncing musical ideas back and forth with the artist or producer. For me recording is more special when it isn't from a piece of sheet music.

Terms Of Service

I will allow two revisions without charge, and every revision after that will be an extra $20 each. My turn around rate would be around 5 work days.
