WHAT IS A SESSION MUSICIAN?
Session musicians (or studio/backing musicians) are highly‑trained professionals hired to perform in recording sessions or live performances. They are not regular band members but are hired per project or gig, working “behind the scenes.” Though often anonymous to the general public, top session musicians build stellar reputations; think of the legendary Wrecking Crew or The Funk Brothers. Some gain wider recognition over time.
WHY CHOOSE PROFESSIONAL SESSION MUSICIANS?
Bespoke, reliable, and stress‑free. Our musicians have decades of studio and live experience, meaning your session delivers exactly what’s required on time and to spec. We vet all talent carefully for professionalism, training credentials, and reliability. We operate like a tailored entertainment agency: after enquiry we provide curated musician options, video samples, repertoire lists, and a dedicated booking manager.
Our service offers:
- Expert consultation to match instrumentation to project goals
- Secure booking contracts and transparent pricing, including deposit processes
- 24/7 support and emergency coverage when needed
