Bass player of 7 years. Impeccable ear. Have been described as an "idiot savante" by a close friend, meaning that I hear something once and pick it up immediately.
I also compose and write arrangements for bands in the studio. I am not currently employed by any labels or companies.
Underground associations past and present:
Trod Nozzle Studios
BDK
Pocket Cat Records
Taco Hut Records
Obscure Me Records
I play all styles, but this site only lets me choose three genres.
Ive played many types of gigs and study all styles including
Jazz, Reggae, Blues, CLassic Rock, Rockabilly, Classical (Upright bass)
Pop, Funk, Punk, Post Punk, Math Rock, motown tributes, and more. I also learn many songs on bass so I am available for cover gigs.
