I started playing guitar when I was 15 years old but quickly switched to bass. I see the bass guitar as one of the easiest instrumentsto learn but the most difficult to master. Bass is the instrument that cements the bands leads to its drummer. In a band situation,that is what I like to provide. I just simply love the instrument.
I try to be creative whenever possible,creating things that are unusual, new and interesting. I try to live a completely honest and clean life, although I do have a fewvices, that I wont mention here.
My influences: The Beatles, ELP, Greg Lake, Tull, Devo, Santana, Zappa, Stu Hamm, Paul McCartney and every great bass player who ever existed. I'm heavily influenced by 60's/70s black musicians and bands eg Stevie Wonder, Sly Stone. Also love Latin-ish music eg Santana. Like most bass players I cut my teeth on the blues. These days I enjoy SRV and Los Lonely Boys.
