My name is Frank Wilson and I was born in Providence,Rhode Island on July 27th 1970 which makes me a leo.I was always into things off the beaten path and was very creative at a young age,becoming an artist first.I liked to draw and make ceramic sculptures.I had an early interest in keyboard instruments as well but became bored with them after a while.Around the age of 13,I got my first electric guitar(A Cort)and played it for a while before I went into high school.The 2nd year of high school I started playing upright bass for the 1st semester until I decided to drop out of high school altogether and get my GED.At that time I was pretty much into hanging out with friends and not doing all that much in terms of music.I didn't become serious about bass again until I was 18 when my dad gave me a Hondo II Precision Bass and soon after my mom purchased me my very 1st professional bass a 1976 Fender Jazz Bass(this was in 1990)I played that bass for a couple of years around the R.I.in various bands including BassHead(not to be confused with Basehead)and Sex Magic picking up several other instruments along the way including a Mark Campellone Custom 4 string and various others.In 1992,I decided that I wanted to get away from R.I.because I had been there my whole life.So I headed west for San Francisco in November 1992.I played in numerous bands around the Bay Area most famously the underground band BUDDERALL.This was one of the very best bands I have ever been involved with and I still miss playing with Dave.I lived out there for 10 years and returned to R.I. in November of 2002.I lived in R.I.for about 1 year and then moved to New London,CT where I have now been for about 4 and a half years.I play bass with numerous local acts including Vertigo and Herbal Nation just to name a few.I am always available for sessions and live shows,as long as it pays enough!
