About Me

Hi! My name is Kenneth Holmström. I'm 42 years old and I'm a bass player. Bass is the instrument I've been playing since I was 12 years old. I became a christian almost at the same time as I started playing the bass and started my musical career in church, playing with choires and vocalists. Church is actually still the place where I mostly use my instrument.Besides beeing a freelance musician, I am also a member of a celtic popgroup called West of Eden. www.westofeden.com (You can find them here at MySpace too). During the years I've toured and recorded music with artists/musicians like: Anders Wihk, Lena-Maria, Larry Carlton, Alex Acuña, Ola Magnell, Ingemar Olsson, Janschie Börjesson, Gladys Del Pilar, Uno Sveningsson, Sten Sandberg, Triple & Touch, Siw Malmkvist, André De Lange, Putte Wickman, West of Eden etc.I am a Master of Fine Arts in Music Education (MFA) and I also run a publishing company. I have written an educational book in how to sightread music – "A vista teknik, hur du blir en bättre notläsare – del 1: rytmbilder (ISBN 91-972987-3-5)". Unfortunately it's only available in swedish. (Hopefully it will be translated into english in the future). Those of you who understand swedish can read more about my books at http://www.khmp.seThanks for stopping by and God bless you!
