Jacob Miranda + Musician in San Diego, CA

ABOUT

My name is Jacob Miranda, aka (Cubby), Professional Bass Player/Multi-instrumentalist, and Music Producer out of San Diego. As a freelance artist, I am involved in many projects, they come and they go. I chose this path as to build my networks, and play a variety of styles. It is hard for me to commit to one band as many bandleaders are contacting me weekly for my schedule. The ideal employer understands the demand to make a living in San Diego and always has second and even third call musicians. I also deal with these issues when I hire out my own musicians. That is the nature of the beast these days.
