About Me

hi all, a bit about me-born in luton, bedfordshire, got interested in art and music so i started to learn violin at high school and then joined the school orchestra. I also played in a string quartet, giving concerts locally at other schools. Ileft school and went to art college and studied graphic design, took up bass while i was there and have been playing ever since, just can't put it down! I have formed and played in quite a few bands and done quite a bit of studio work. I also studied bass in london with joe hubbard who is an amazing guy. we also done a bit of self- defence training JKD bruce lee's martial art and the RAT system yon can check it out on scientific fight .co.uk. I am currently writing some experimental /funk/ electronic music on my computer as u can hear and also having a custom built bass made by robbie who you can see below- you can see pics of work in progress on my pictures page. I also enjoy films- books -cooking- physics and the universe and all those unanswered questions and mysteries. Also i will be frequently ADDING NEW SONGS to this site!, so please feel free to drop by as often as you like, it will be very much appreciated! take care, love and peace to you all, marty.
