Session Violinist (UK)

Daniel Stroud on SoundBetter

Award-winning violinist based in London – credits with Ed Sheeran, RAYE, Louis Cole, Disney, Netflix & West End shows. Recorded at Abbey Road & AIR Studios. Orchestral, pop, and cinematic strings with fast, pro delivery.

I’m a London-based session and classical violinist, having worked and recorded with the likes of Ed Sheeran, RAYE, Louis Cole, Jules Buckley and Ella Henderson. I’ve recorded at Abbey Road and AIR Studios on major film scores such as Snow White (2025) and 28 Years Later (directed by Danny Boyle). I also regularly perform in West End shows including Les Misérables, Phantom of the Opera, and The Great Gatsby.

I trained at the Royal Academy of Music, where I was awarded the prestigious Regency Award for outstanding achievement. I frequently perform with top UK orchestras such as the BBC Scottish Symphony, London Mozart Players, and the English Chamber Orchestra, including appearances at the BBC Proms, and give recitals across the UK.

Working with me will get you the following:

- Lush, expressive violin.
- Rich, layered string sections.
- Custom string arrangements on request.
- Expert timing, tuning and fast delivery.

Below is a reel featuring snippets from five songs I’ve recorded strings for. Each track was recorded in a top studio using professional-grade equipment. You can expect nothing less than industry-quality results, ready for mixing and release.

Fast delivery, usually within 24-48 hours. Feel free to contact me with your requests!
