ABOUT

Hi!

I am a Berklee-trained professional electric bass player and guitarist. I diligently prepare for the gigs, willing to practice, learn the material. I can read music and prepare charts, transcribe, arrange, play various styles like funk, R'n'B, gospel, latin, pop, rock, electronic, christian/gospel, world music and do lean towards contemporary jazz....

I am looking to join a professional band and studio work. (Please no amateur / weekend warrior / play for fun inquiries.)

I play fretted and fretless basses 5 and 4 string basses. I play finger-style, slap, muted etc. I also play acoustic and electric guitars, percussion, keyboards.

I am friendly, stylish, relaxed, dependable and love what I do. I have a car and am okay with driving/traveling to gigs outside of LA as well. i also compose, arrange and produce music (IDIOM Music Productions, Los Angeles)

Professional inquiries only please.

Thanks and all the best,

-Oleg
