About / Biography

Mischa – Cellist & Vocalist | South Wales & South England

I’m a classically trained cellist and singer, working across a wide range of musical genres and performance settings. Based in South Wales and South England, I bring a rich, expressive sound shaped by both conservatoire training and diverse professional experience.

After studying at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, I’ve had the opportunity to perform and record with a wide variety of ensembles and artists. These include contemporary classical groups such as Manchester Collective and The Flying Bedroom Quartet, as well as recording sessions with emerging local talents like Becky Winfield and Mattie Rowe, and internationally recognised artists such as Passenger.

My work blends classical technique with a flair for improvisation, vocal harmony, and genre-crossing collaboration. I regularly perform as a soloist, in string ensembles, and in bespoke lineups tailored to events, from intimate acoustic sessions to large-scale stage productions. My versatility has led me to perform at renowned venues including Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club and The Barbican, as well as on West End productions such as 101 Dalmatians and The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.

Services offered:

  • Live performance (solo cello, cello & voice, ensemble bookings)
  • Recording sessions (studio and remote)
  • Theatre and stage show work (including dep and touring availability)
  • Bespoke performances for weddings, events, and corporate functions

I’m currently involved in a number of exciting recording projects and live shows, and always open to new collaborations across music, theatre, and multimedia work.

Yes, happy for the client to choose the music prior - Just send me a playlist if this is the case.

My set list is crafted from countless performances and learning what works best to ensure that you and the guests enjoy and have an amazing time. However, I am happy to chat through in advance and make sure that I find what works for your event.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever played at?

One of the most high-profile gigs I’ve performed was on the main stage at the Barbican, which was such an incredible experience to play in such an iconic venue. Though each of the opportunities, that I have had over the years, have helped with my career and been such a joy to share the cello and voice with such talented musicians and diverse audiences.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

I admire Ayanna Witter-Johnson, whose artistry as a cellist-singer showed me how powerful the instrument can be when paired with voice. Fleetwood Mac inspire my love of harmony and texture, while Carole King and Eva Cassidy remind me to sing with honesty. These influences shape my performances into something heartfelt, versatile, and personal.


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

I started busking prior to university to help pay for my degree. Since, I’ve performed in pubs, weddings and events in the UK and beyond.


What's your favourite type of event to play at?

I love playing at all sorts of events but live events, such as weddings or concerts, are such a joy!

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

I normally arrive 1 hour before the performance to set up (acoustically) and 1.30 before an amplified set up.

Prior to the amplified engagement, I will need confirmation on the electrical set up.

I normally perform 2 x 45 minutes sets.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Happy to perform outside as long as it’s shaded and on a flat surface level.

The Performer maintains a repertoire list available to the Client.
Reasonable requests for special pieces must be submitted at least 4 weeks prior to the event, with additional fees to source and arrange new music.
The Performer reserves the right to decline requests that are unsuitable for solo cello or cannot be prepared in time.

Previous clients have told me that they love the unique blend of voice and cello. They appreciate how versatile the cello can be, from classical to modern songs, and how the vocals add a personal, memorable and an emotional touch.

My openness and willingness to a variety of genres of music.

For me, it’s all about connecting with people and playing meaningful music.
