Brandon Encinas Violinist & Violist

Professional Violin & Viola for Film, TV, Games, and Artists Worldwide

Whether you're producing a film score, developing a record, or adding strings to your next release, I provide professional violin and viola recordings from my Los Angeles studio and through in-studio sessions worldwide.

With credits spanning Lady Gaga, Bad Bunny (Super Bowl Halftime Show), Billie Eilish, The Oscars, Fortnite, Coming 2 America, Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F, and NBC’s The Voice, I bring over a decade of recording experience in film, television, and commercial experience to every project.

My focus is simple: fast, musical, production-ready string recordings that sit perfectly in your mix.
