About Me

Sven plays the Acoustic and Electric Bass. Occasionally Synth, Guitar, and Percussion.Starting with the Electric bass in 1986, Sven has pursued his craft professionally since 1991 which took him on the road in a young and hungry (literally, on occasion) thrash/metal trio. With wanderlust in heart, he left his small-town Ohio roots in 1995 land landed in Boston. Since arriving, he immediately acquired a Double bass and dove head first in to the Jazz, World, and Blues scenes. Taking every opportunity to learn, perform, and record in many genres has landed him on many a bandstand throughout the Northeast, across the US, Canada and Europe backing artists such as Toni Lynn Washington, Tom Hambridge, Charles Neville, and Nicole Nelson, on stages such as Symphony Hall, Tanglewood, and King Biscuit to name a few. Sven has also extensively studied Hindustani Classical Music and co-leads the 'true fusion' ensemble Bangalore.
