THE BASS BULLY

About Me


I'm a musician, bass is my main instrument but i also play some guitar, keys and drums. I am currently developing a new project with my friend Ias wich is yet to be named (but you can check out what we do on myspace... go look in my top friends for TURTLEBEANS and let us know what you think).
I do session work as well wich has led me to perform and record with Raheem Devaughn, Rachid Taha, John Legend, Bilal (I produced the track 'Lord don't let it' on the unreleased Love for Sale' album), Estelle, Omar, Ingrid Eto (Zero 7 instrumental project), Kish Mauve, Acoustic Ladyland, Sa-ra Creative Partners, TY, Finn Peters, Jaguar Wright, I was involved with 'the black lily' from 1998 till 2001 in new york and philly then from 2001 till 2003 in london.
I also work as a live sound engineer credits includes: Bassekou Kouyate n'goni ba, Papa Noel, Smadj, Cheb Nacim, Jose James, Le tigre des platanes.
In general I like playing music, surfing and eating sushi...i also like sunshine but i live in london so i can't ask for too much of it.
