I am a producer and violinist originally from Richmond, Virginia. After graduating from the University of Georgia, I moved to Atlanta to learn from producer Ben H. Allen (Animal Collective, Deerhunter) as his assistant engineer and studio manager. I have been working as an engineer and violinist for the last 10 years, and enjoy producing and playing on any project with a sound that interests me! I am available to make sheet music for any instrument as well.
I'm looking forward to hearing your work!

check_circleVerifiedIncredible arrangement and imagination! Annie's performance was amazing as well, really brought the track to life!
check_circleVerifiedProfessional, adaptable, clear communication and great results!
check_circleVerifiedAnnie is incredibly talented! She added a new layer of emotion in my song that colored it in a whole new way. The strings she sent were stunning, dreamy, and everything I imagined. She is a master at her craft. Absolutely brilliant work, thank you Annie!
check_circleVerifiedAnnie is really amazing, she quickly added a beautiful string arrangement to my indie folk tune. I imagine there isn't anything she CAN'T do string-wise, but that alt and indie sound is something she's an absolute natural at. A true pro!!! I'll absolutely work with her again in the future.
check_circleVerifiedThis was my first time working with Annie, and hopefully not my last! She did an incredible job finding her role in the song and wrote some truly beautiful and creative parts. Thank you!

Annie expertly enhanced my song with her string arrangements. I wholeheartedly recommend her for her outstanding professionalism and talent.

Annie is incredibly talented and has great communication skills in bringing the vision for a project to life. Would highly recommend!!!
check_circleVerifiedAnnie was super easy and friendly to work with, and quickly made an entire string arrangement for my song that gave it a whole lot more color and elevated the entire track. Would definitely work with her again!
check_circleVerifiedAnnie crushed it! I sent five piano pieces and gave free reign with a couple of artists/songs to reference (Olafur Arnalds, Sigur Ros, etc). What she sent back was just what I hoped for. She was very accommodating with the couple of notes that I sent back and was a joy to work with! Will definitely be hiring her again.
check_circleVerifiedAnnie was very communicable about her workflow and process. She reads music well and she recorded violin, viola and edited the cello parts to my ensemble piece. She has subtle mixing techniques for balancing sounds and sends complete stems, as well as her own sample mixdown which is very helpful. I’d recommend her in the future to all who are interested!
check_circleVerifiedAnnie did an incredible job and was such a pleasure to work with!!!

check_circleVerifiedAnnie did a great job playing a bunch of string parts on my song. She was easy to work with. Quick turnaround, gladly made revisions, and sent back professional sounding tracks.

The best!
check_circleVerifiedAnnie has recently recorded string sections for five of my tracks and they all sound amazing. The standard of her playing is second to none and the quality of the recordings are excellent. She has been a pleasure to work with and the whole process has been extremely smooth and efficient. I would definitely hope to work with Annie again in the future!
check_circleVerifiedThis is my second time working with Ms. Leeth and I'm not being hyperbolic when I say that I love Annie's work! She does an awesome job and I hope to work with again soon! I highly recommend her!
check_circleVerifiedAnnie is a really good and patient mixing engineer, top value for money. Will be coming back with more tracks.

Great sounding strings from Annie, many thanks
Interview with Annie Leeth
Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: I'm really proud of Maximo Park's "Nature Always Wins", for which I engineered as well as arranged and recorded strings. It was made right when the pandemic began, so we had to deal with all of the challenges of working on a primarily remote album. The experience left me feeling both resilient and fulfilled musically!
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: It depends on the situation, I think! I've found that different genres tend to thrive in each. That being said, I came up in a hybrid studio, and have always felt comforted by analog gear. In a perfect world, everyone would have access to both, but technology has come so far that you can still get a great result no matter what.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: I most commonly add layered string sections to songs that need a bit of an emotional push. I love creating lush, layered, large-sounding string sections as an affordable, real alternative to software strings.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Laurie Anderson, Andrew Bird, and Kishi Bashi come to mind. I love when I feel immersed in an album, where it's difficult to passively listen. These artists always do that for me!
