I might as well list every musician since the dawn of time because I don't limit myself to a genre. When you stop growing and learning, you die.
Sounds Like: A solid bass player.
I'm very serious about my playing, keeping a rock solid beat, working hard and giving the best performance.But I also look at my "job" as fun and I'm proud to have a warped sense of humor and positive outlook.
I have a bachelor of science in broadcast journalism with a lot of video, audio and film work. I also do professional video and audio production from pre to post and DVD authoring as good or better than anything out of Hollywood (I use the same equipment as the major studios).
