About Me

Irvin has been over shadowed by some of the Baltimore Washington areas best bassplayers, it's cool it teaches humility. He found his niche in the recording studio, the place where chilling is what the party calls for. Raised on Funk, Irvin has studied the funk masters,guys like Jones,Boogie,Bootsy,Larry Graham(the Sly days),Terry lewis. The problem was, he grew up in Baltimore. A bassplayer in Baltimore had badass competiton for gigs, we had the real Cats. Vince loving(whewwwww.....)Skeets(forget about it)Tony&Jeff Bunn(Bad&Badder)Ultra Clean Gary Grainger,Than there was the youngin' Kevin Walker. A climate like this only forced the Baltimore bass players to raise their skill levels, subsequently becoming some of the most sought after musicians today. Strangely these fellow are some of the coolest musicians you'll ever meet. Irvin got his musical training in the public school system,Peabody Prep,the Closet,The Sportsmans lounge,and too many smokey clubs to mention. Today Irvin is a Mutha Funka. The Mutha Funkaz is a production team based in Baltimore that dose it's music internationally. Teamed with Sean(DJ Spen)Spencer,Gary(Hudge)Hudgins,and Gary Dean, Irvin is making people around the world do a great thing.DANCE. Remember It's hard to fight if your Dancing....Irvin is a quick study and has a valid passport.
