In May 2024, I co-produced and recorded two trap-hip-hop violin tracks entitled “Summer Breeze” and “Summer Heat”, which aired on CBC North by Northwest Radio: https://youtu.be/W7pIyKvQQ5w?si=JnyXoB8DBZF0dOSc In July 2021, CBC Music listed me for their “Top 30 Under 30 Hot Musicians” for my self-produced debut studio album entitled “Short Stories”
My name is Royce Rich and I am a classically-trained concert violinist & recording artist in Pop, R&B and classical film-score soundtrack music. I am currently based in Toronto, Ontario.
I would love to record string stems / string arrangements for your up-coming song or track!
I enjoy recording for pop, R&B and classical music projects.
Although I do prefer to play off of composed musical scores, I do have perfect-pitch and can play melodies / harmonies by ear.
I have been performing onstage for 17 years, and have enjoyed performing as both a solo artist and collaborative musician around the USA, Italy, and Germany.
As of this past summer, I completed my formal performance education training at The Glenn Gould School of The Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto.
I am reachable via a DM through my Instagram (@roycerichmusical), as well as via e-mail (roycethemusician@gmail.com)
Thank you very much for your time and I look forward to collaborating with you on your music soon!

Interview with Royce Rich
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I bring brilliance, virtuosity and very high quality violin playing to any musical project I am involved in. As a classically-trained violinist, it is in my “musical nature” to bring top-quality pitch, tone and musicality to a recording. My instrument is a terrific acoustic violin made in 1757, hand-crafted by Italian-luthier Lorenzo Carcassi.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: Initially in the collaboration process, I appreciate and find value in communicating with the arranger, composer and/or producer of the music - my goal is to understand how I can best facilitate a terrific recorded performance for the client prior to beginning the recording work on my end.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I record from my apartment, and my equipment I record with includes the Shure MV88+ microphone.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: In the classical music “world”, I am inspired by Hilary Hahn and Joshua Bell.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Aside from performing live onstage or with a string quartet at a reception or banquet event, I enjoy recording stems written for the violin for a variety of different music arrangers and producers.
- Playboi Carti
- Hans Zimmer
- Hollywood Strings Orchestra
- Shure MV88+ Microphone
