ABOUT
Life long pianist, and now bassist. I enjoy playing 90's alt rock all the way through today's modern rock. I've played lots of other genres though. I can find enjoyment in the bass line for just about any type of music.

Influences
Too many to name. I have a very wide taste for music. The bassist that really amaze me are Victor Wooten, Les Claypool, Geddy Lee, Flea, Justin Chancelor, Robert DeLeo, etc....etc....
I try to be a bass player who understands the music and how the bass interacts with it. I don't like bass players who really wanted to be the lead guitar, if you know what I mean. But I also don't like bass players who do nothing more than play the root of the chord an octave lower than the rhythm guitar. The bass has a unique space in the music, and I try to live in that space in a way that best supports the song as a whole.
