Hello everybody ! My name is Jan . I was born in Russia in a family of musicians and moved to Israel when I was 10. At the age of 13 I started studying music and classical guitar in the conservatory . One year after , I already knew I was going to be a bass player. I started to play bass at a local band within the same conservatory . My family and friends thought that I was going crazy , because I wasn't even getting out of the house – all day long I was playing the bass . After a while I was ready to play with a folklore dance ensemble with whom I went to Europe once or twice a year for live performances . These tours made my playing skills much better . In 1999 I graduated "Ha Shalom" music school and joined the Israel army live band after some insane qualifying exams . It ment so much to me, and this success was so important, that I decided to order the instrument which has been my dream for years now – a Warwick Streamer Stage 2 . This was when people in Israel hardly knew what is Warwick . For three years I was the bass player in the Israeli army , where I've met musicians and artists of the highest level . Over 300 live performances in 3 years , sessions , recordings , photo shootings , rehearsals , big productions . After I finished my army service , I started to play in bands , sessions and many recordings , so I needed a fretless bass . I ordered my second Warwick bass . A custom shop Streamer Stage 1 fretless . Every place I went with these two basses people were going crazy about their sound qualities and their beauty . As a result , musicians knew me also as one of the best known Warwick players in Israel . Bass players consulted me before they planned to buy their Warwick bass and after . Nowadays I have my own students , and I also teach in two conservatories in Israel . I worke with some famous Israeli singers,musicians and producers. I still work with the Army Live Band as a musical arranger . I also take part in a lot of sessions , live performances and recordings . Lately I became a Warwick endorser wich was a great honor. At these days I'm going to play in some big productions in Israel - the very promising "JJ Jazz" Project and an unusual two-bass Jazz/Latin/Funk Project which is called "Dezertocry" . I'm gonna add some new , fresh tunes from the latest works in a short time . So stay tuned and do only the things you like in life - the dreams turn to reality in a blink of an eye ! Jan Nissimov .
