nico bass

I was born in Finland and have lived since in many places in the world but mostly in France where I lived almost ten years before moving to London in 2006. In France I recorded a demo with a band called Unkind Mopniks (UM Crew) and you can hear a few tracks on my page; be sure to listen to the endings of the songs where it often gets more interesting rythmically...I graduated from the Institute of Contemporary Music in London in July 2007. I started guitar at 15/16 and my main goal has always been to write original music which is why I started studying here, to expand my musical knowledge. I thank many of my teachers for giving me inspiration. Still, my main inspiration comes from guitarists such as Jeff Beck and Pat Metheny and from listening to drummers and saxophone players. You can also hear a few tracks that I recorded at home but I'm still waiting for musicians to share much more interesting instrumental compositions in a blend of styles.
