Influences

In the world of music, my journey as a bassist has been profoundly shaped by a diverse tapestry of influences spanning from the 1960s to the present day. At the heart of my bass-playing passion, Scott Devine and the esteemed staff at the SBL academy have been guiding lights, illuminating the path toward musical excellence.

With an unwavering commitment to honing my "Low End Skills," I've delved deep into the art of bass, constantly seeking to refine my craft. This dedication has been inspired by a rich array of musicians who have left their indelible mark on my musical soul.

From the soulful melodies of Mac Powell to the heartfelt ballads of Andrew Ripp, and the evocative harmonies of Caedmon's Call, my musical journey has been a voyage through decades of incredible artists. The ethereal sounds of Hammock, the whimsical spirit of Toad the Wet Sprocket, and the heartfelt melodies of Southern Raised have all contributed to the colorful palette of my musical influences.

The likes of Brandon Heath, Rhett Walker, and Chasen have further deepened my appreciation for songwriting and storytelling through music, while the energetic rhythms of JJ Weeks Band and the heartfelt tunes of Finding Favor have added a dynamic dimension to my musical repertoire.

I've found inspiration in the soul-stirring melodies of Chris August, the harmonious reflections of Shane & Shane, and the worshipful anthems of Cory Asbury and Brandon Lake. The passionate performances of Zach Williams, the anthemic sounds of Sidewalk Prophets, and the introspective lyrics of Vertical Horizon have all contributed to the evolving soundtrack of my musical journey.

Influenced by this eclectic mix of artists spanning the decades, my journey as a bassist is a testament to the power of music to connect, inspire, and transform.
