About Me

CK came from Scotland and trained in music from a very early age. Finding the bass at the age of 15 however changed everything. Progressing rapidly he was soon touring with bands and sitting in on sessions for numerous bands and artists. With his two albums he crossed many genres with help from a lot of his musical friends. Going from chilled instrumentals to experimental rock to comedy to hip hop and back again his music has something for everyone. From Scotland he travelled to China to work with the band Mind the Gap and after one year he's now residing in Vienna, Austria. Teaching privately, constantly composing and making moves within the jam scene around the city his unique style and attitude will continue to grow for a long time yet.
