Hello! I'm a Nashville-based session and touring cellist. I've most recently played with Copeland, Gungor, Needtobreathe, and a host of indie singers and songwriters. While I love enhancing other people's music, I'm also passionate about writing, composing, and producing my own music too.
Even though I'm classically trained, I am well versed in multiple genres. I've also co-written several scores for indie films and many of my tracks have been successful on micro licensing sites.
The string parts I write and play are simple, tasteful, and executed quickly, matching them to fit your vision for the song.
I can track a part already written out or I can write and arrange the parts myself.
I can't wait to work with you in bringing your songs to life!
Would love to hear from you. Click the contact button above to get in touch.

Chelsea was easy to work with and her playing was exactly what my track was missing. I would use her services again and would recommend her on any project.

No need to look any further. If you're in need of cello overdubs from a reputable and well-rounded musician, Chelsea should really be your choice. She can read notation, improvise, play expressively. And, she uses high-quality preamps and microphones on top of it all! She treats each project like an artist, not a "process". Exceptional work!
Chelsea is a complete pro, an exceptional player and composer
