Joe Sam Bass Player

About Me


Young Bass Player from Kent, 2005 Scholarship winner at London's Bass Institute. I have been playing bass for nearly 10 years, coming from a musical family I was always surrounded by musical instruments. I'm currently playing in several bands in and around London. Fontana, Sophie Barker (Zero 7), The Noize, Exhibicion. I have been fortunate enough to play with some quality musicians over the years; My brother John (having a drummer for a brother is every bass players dream!) Christian Fontana (the guy's a true inspiration!) Ed Williams (another fantastic drummer) Jan Ozveren (Corrine Bailey Rae, Trilok Gurtu), Dan Sumner, Jamie Woon. Robin Banerjee (Amy Winehouse, Jazz Jamaica allstars), Paul Stewert (The Feeling), Andy Abraham (X factor), and I have also jammed with Dave Marks ( tutor,mentor, friend), Dario Cortese ( demon Italian Guitarist), Jamiroquai (Derrick Mckenzie, Shola Akimbola, Rob Harris) and Drummer Steve Washington (Texas, Take That). I am looking to get into the session game and play with more fine musicians to create magic.
