About Me

Hi, I’m Cortney! I’m a cellist based in Louisville, Kentucky. Classically trained with a heart for improvisation, I love jumping into creative, collaborative projects. Whether I’m leading worship, laying down tracks, or performing onstage, I’m happiest discovering new spaces where the cello can belong.
