About Me

Hi, I'm Rich - primarily a musician, taking a gap-year after completing my Music College course on Contemporary Popular Music. I currently work at my local Waitrose store, to raise cash toward a full BMus Hons Degree in Contemporary Music Performance from the Bass Institute University in Kilburn. I'm an absolute music geek, my main instrument is the Electric Bass in all it's forms, however I also dabble with Electric and Acoustic Guitar, EUB, Double Bass, Cello, Drums, Piano/Keys and Sequencing.
In the past I've worked in various musical outfits, from Metal bands, Jazz Fusion Trios, an Experimental Dance 2-piece, Folk Acoustic Duo, a celtic-influenced Function/covers band, a Carribean Pop backing band, and I also attend various Jam-nights in the local area, aswell as that, I'm setting-up a function band, and I'm working on some sequenced soundscape pieces.
I'm always looking for new projects and ideas, so if you need a bass player, or just want some bass lines recording, let me know. ....
