Bassist since age 9. I studied under studio musicians and private tutors for many years and had the privalige to know Jaco. Larry Seymour. Working with names such as Billy Idol, Rod Stewart etc. Also studied flamenco guitar at age 9. Percusion came into play at age 15 under the supervision again with studio musicians, to incorperate basic rudimentary skills into guitar and bass technique. Also at age 9 for three years studying, nothing to be ashamed of, Opera. Gilbert and Sulivan, who wrote plays such as The Pirates of Pinzance, H.M.S. Pinafore and The Mikado landing all lead roles. Recieved the main lead as the Captian in H.M.S. I have a Minor in music theory as well as music history. At an earlier age of 7 and throughout the years I have played many wind and string instuments. I have traveld and toured all over the world and I feel very fortunate to have done so. Now this is my brief history and I feel good about my education. I can't say enough about the artist I have worked with. I truly know the meaning of the words " Humble and Humility" I have come to a realization that no matter what type of art you study or take an interest in, everything is somehow connected. I consider myself very lucky with the type of education that I have recived and the ability to learn and listen to those in the industry whom I have made friends with over the years and with continue to do so. The best advice I can give anyone who is in the buisness is" If you don't know, ask questions. If you feel in doubt, continue to grow, dispite others who would like to see you fail. Watch your surroundings at all times, as you may be used! "FRIEND OR FOE! " It happens all the time! Most of all,"Retain a positive attitude" If you lose that, the only person who is at loss is you! Here is a few pieces I have co- written, with various artist, for you listening pleasure. I have had luck with these promos and will continue to grow post new ones. Believe in yourself, and no one CAN BREAK YOU!!!!! Ash "Kelly" Bryant Diegan.
