I have spent my life cultivating my dual passions of songwriting and creating retro-styled graphic art. I've always been intrigued by the imperfections generated by the physical printing process, particularly on mid-century concert posters and matchbooks, and I've tried to give the artwork that I've created for many satisfied clients the soul that vintage printing processes naturally generate. Layouts for vinyl gatefolds, cd booklets, cassette J-cards... setting art up for press is a specialty of mine, but hit me up for any neo-retro graphic needs you may have. I look forward to hearing from you! Samples at http://www.martinrivas.co/design.html

Hello! I am a violinist/fiddler from London, Ontario Canada. I have been playing violin for the last 25 years. I love everything about the instrument. I completed my Bachelor's Degree in Music Performance and have been working professionally since 2004. I am proficient in classical, jazz, improvisation, country, traditional fiddle, celtic, rock, metal, hip hop, pop and electronic music. I have work as a freelance player and session musician and have toured with bands and artists internationally. I have also worked as a theatre performer, actor and singers as well as musical director and arranger since 2011. I have experience with electric violin and effects and also play the viola, mandolin and electric bass.

Brooklyn-based session violinist (viola also available) with a strong background in Classical music. I like to apply my background towards my specialization (and particular interest!) in indie music (folk, rock, pop), acoustic pieces, and cinematic layerings, though I have worked with all genres across the local NYC scene for artists of all backgrounds. I arrange based on need within the project. Whether I should emphasize different parts of lyricism (if any), become another "voice", or add dynamics to parts of the music that require ebb and flow, my hope is to build and support the sole message of the project. I am a huge fan of the collaborative process and always base off of the songwriter's intention as a first priority, therefore I am very flexible in the work progress, whether you have absolutely no idea what to do with strings, have some kind of idea, or have a part/general skeleton written out! Finally, I have extensive experience with overall music/creative management. My journey in this position had me build a following, create social media campaigns and strategy, work with UX designers for new branding, as well as getting projects featured. In addition, I have served as creative director of single/album releases, and was the forefront collaborator in instrumentation/arrangements and the mixing process. Therefore, I am more than happy to contribute my services and provide feedback in this way as well. Looking forward to it!

I'm a London based songwriter with a love of songs with just the right amount of poetry to not be pretentious and opaque, and just the right amount of humour to not be a novelty song. I'm a guitarist, and tend to work with guitar-led music - indie pop, chamber pop, folk, rock, americana etc - for commercial music and sync music. I'm equally at home writing a heartbreaking song (like New Shadow by The Morning Shift) as I am writing something more fun and upbeat (like Olive Branch by Tora Luna), and would love to chat with anyone looking to bring those touches to their music.
