Bassist/Backing Vocals with a diverse background in a variety of styles such as Pop, R&B, Country, Jazz, Alt Rock, Americana and more.
I am interested in live performance and studio recording, of which I have several years experience of both with a decade of performance and recording in New York City, Washington state, California, Georgia and British Columbia. I have a great stage presence and get along with other band mates and staff quite comfortably. I don't smoke, I don't use drugs and always perform with a clear mind so I can be present for the moment.
For original music, I compose bass parts that complement the song, primarily influenced by Will Lee, Paul McCartney, Abe Laboriel and Lee Sklar. I see the song as the focal point like a painting, whilst the bass parts I compose like the frame - tastefully appointed, a compliment to the painting. Contact me if you seek someone to complement your band not only by the sound, but also by stage presence.
For covers, I faithfully reproduce the original bass part to preserve the experience for the listener.
Please check out my audio samples - some jazz, some Alt Rock, some country.
I primarily play basses by Sadowsky and Moollon Guitars (Jazz and Precision type instruments) as well as an NS Design Electric Upright Bass.
Amplification by GK and Ashdown.
Loudspeakers by BagEnd.
