ABOUT

As a bassist I can add depth and fullness to your sound while laying a foundation of rhythm for you to build on. I build my own basslines including working with original works and whether with a full band or supporting a singer/songwriter I can find a sound that will enhance your performance without detracting from it.
I am flexible, easy to get along with, creative and welcoming to critique believing in what's right not who's right with making good music the ultimate goal. I am willing to play in a garage, back you up at open mic or join/create a working band or just talk music. Committing full time and always learning combined with working hard means that I will learn what music is required, show up prepared and always bring a little something extra to any arrangement.
I currently study under a professional performer focusing on background vocals and harmonies as well as polishing my bass playing and timing. I also have been recording original bass parts for a couple of local artists. I can sing and solo with my bass and my classical guitar background brings a little spice to my music.
I am a respectful team player and focus on serving the song and making the frontperson/singer/instrumentalist look good. I maintain a sense of humour in all things and if it doesn't work out, I will thankyou for the privilege of working with you and move on.
