About Me

Hi everybody, My name is Emrah Kaptan I was born in 1982 in France . I began to play Music with the bassguitar at 13 years old. In fact, I grow up in a Musical atmospher because of my familly. My first main influence was my father who plays Baglama (Anatolian luth) and lot of Middle-East singers (Oum Kaltoum, Asik Veysel, Orhan Gencebay..)and many others , so in home we had just some oriental instruments (saz, OUd, Darbuka...) but when i had almost 10 I discovered that there were other instruments and of course others musics like rock,nirvana,beatles,INxs , guitar, drums , sax ... so i ve got the bass or the Bass 's got me ;) after this , I started to play in several bands of each style (rock, funk,hip hop...) since i was at College until Lycée. During this teenager years i learned many style of music and of course Jazz (C.Mingus,Jaco,H Hancok,T.Monk) so i decided to study this music and so in 2000, I integrated the Strasbourg Conservatory and in 2004 i was graduated of "Jazz & improvising musics". This year, I won the 1st price of composition and SPEDIDAM price at BASS 2008 Contest in Paris La Villette. I live and work in Paris but i often move all around Europe and North Africa for Gigs and Sessions... That's All Folks ;) Keep on groovin' LOVE&RESPECT to each one... ..
