Hello! I play viola in studio sessions ranging from classical to pop genres, live and remote. I love arranging strings as much as I love playing viola. While viola is my main jam, I do also play violin and happy to record with both!
With two degrees in viola performance, a decade of experience in orchestral, studio and touring settings-- I thrive on working with composers, musicians and artists to create exceptional music. Let's bring your vision to life together!

See my previous review for full thoughts on Rita.
But essentially Rita’s work is magic, she’s 100% professional and most of all she is incredibly kind.
Can’t recommend partnering with Rita highly enough

What can I say about Rita!?
She is genuinely one of the best artists I have had the pleasure of working with as she contributed to my Americana album with a selection of beautiful string work. Her work ethic, dedication to detail, openness to feedback and ability to meet deadline were all amazing.
Aside from all this, Rita is incredibly affordable for the quality you will be getting from her and most importantly she is just an excellent person.
I cannot recommend Rita enough!

Rita continues to be an incredible collaborative partner! We’ve worked on a handful of tracks now and I feel like I’m still just scratching the surface of the possibilities! She plays the technical parts with aplomb and the emotive parts with grace. For our latest project, I almost decided to just use MIDI, as the parts are mostly just sustained notes. I’m glad I changed my mind, as Rita gave the song a huge boost of warmth and depth! If you need strings, hire Rita - you won’t be disappointed!

Rita is a rockstar! This is the fourth time she has recorded violin and/or viola parts for my tracks, and I continue to be amazed at her ability to deliver high quality recordings that combine technical precision with emotional expression. For this particular track, Rita improvised some very creative ornamentations into the lead part, helping the violin come to life at a key moment in the song. Amazing!

Rita has a great work ethic and contributed to my projects with fresh ideas and quality string playing. I've worked with her on a couple songs already, all with great success. She's wonderful, I would recommend her to a friend 100%

Rita continues to be an incredible collaborator to work with! She is a perfectionist who always delivers dynamic, emotional performances. The violin & viola parts she recorded were graceful and powerful - exactly what my track needed. Not only did Rita’s performances take my track to another level, but she also went out of her way to record extra parts to create a fuller, richer string section. My excitement level for this track has increased as a direct result of Rita’s contributions. Amazing!

Working with Rita and the Atlys team was a great experience. She's kind, communicates promptly, and was able to work with my somewhat limited budget. The tracks, of course, sounded great, and she was sure that the end result was what I had envisioned. The result was not only a beautiful sounding song, but a joyous journey to get there. Would most certainly recommend.

Working with Rita was yet again a wonderful experience! Just an amazing professional who makes collaborating fun and easy. Although the parts that I asked Rita and the Atlys team to record this time were fairly simple, their performances added so much depth and vitality to the track. Highly recommended!

Working with Rita was a wonderful experience! She is kind, communicates promptly and thoroughly, and genuinely cares about her work. Oh, and she's an incredible violinist/violist as well! Her playing is emotive, and her recordings are rich and warm. I highly recommend Rita (and the Atlys team) for your string needs!

Rita did such an immaculate job on my song. She's not only technically proficient but even more importantly she plays with true feeling. She's good, she's nice, and she's concerned about achieving your vision or helping you out with that as well with help in arranging. look forward to having her play on something again.
