Bass Guitar, Electronic Music, Other Percussion, Rhythm Guitar, Upright bass.ABOUT
The first time I had the chance to meet five-time Grammy award winning bassist Victor Wooten was at his camp outside of Nashville Tenn. I will never forget his love and joy of creating music and life skills. One of the many things I learned that will always be a part of my approach to playing is how jamming or having a conversation with expert musicians is the most fundamental and important way to learn how to develop your voice and technique on your instrument. My approach to playing bass is very much about working with extremely skilled and talented players.
My areas of mastery include Jazz composition and performance, music theory, music production, Pop, Rock, Hip Hop, R&B and Reggae. While pursuing my education I had the opportunity to study with Victor Wooten, Dave Holland, Malachi Favors of the Art Ensemble of Chicago, John Lockwood and George Russell, creator of the Lydian Chromatic Concept of tonal harmonization. I have toured the world performing Jazz, R&B, Reggae and World Beat music with various bands, taught upright/electric bass, voice, songwriting and hand drums privately and in groups. I have released CDâ??s and digital tracks of original compositions.
