Bespoke Strings To Make Your Music Soar
Hear how Mike's arrangements bring songs to life across genres.
Bio
Thank you very much for stopping by my page! I am Mike Hart, a composer and string arranger with a passion for helping musicians uncover the emotional depth and richness within their songs. Having studied Music Composition at university, I combine a strong musical foundation with an instinctive, artist-led approach to arranging—creating string parts that serve the song rather than overwhelm it. I’ve worked with a range of artists, including some high-profile clients, bringing warmth, movement and cinematic colour to their music while preserving what makes each artist’s sound distinctive. Check out some of my work, and get in touch via the contact section- I'd love to discuss how we might work together.

He really understood what the track needed, and created something that feels delicate and incredibly powerful.

Testimonial: "Mike absolutely nailed the strings on this track. I wanted something funky and disco-inspired that would bring real energy without making the song feel over-arranged, and he completely understood the brief. The arrangement has so much movement and personality—it lifts the choruses, adds some gorgeous little moments throughout, and somehow makes the whole track feel bigger and more alive. It feels like the strings were always meant to be there."
