About Me

Music is what gets me out of bed every afternoon and occasionally in the morning (church gigs). I couldn't imagine living without it, I wouldn't want to. Somewhere along the line I started to play the bass and a lot of things fell into place. I was 17 when I played my first paying gig and I knew from that moment on that I would do everything within my power to avoid normal work, so far I've been successful. I love all kinds of music and I play all kinds of music. I also write all kinds of music. I work mostly as a freelance bass player, I just can't commit to any one band, maybe someday. I hope someday my songs will be as in demand as my bass playing skills, I'm working on that. Music is a tricky business, I try and keep a open mind and always focus on the bigger picture on every gig, if I can get out of my own way I usually do alright. I have many interests outside of music, but it always comes back to music for me, I can't not do it, I'm in this for life.
