About Me

Greetings! Thanks for viewing!

Bass Player. With a solid musical foundation, I specialize in deep roots reggae, hip-hop, jazz, electronic, funk, and rock grooves! I live in the Los Angeles area, have lots of energy / stamina to give, and I am currently available for studio work and live gigs. I am proficient in reading charts or can play excellent by ear; either way, I take my passion very seriously and always give it my all.

I like to create, and I'm always open minded to new opportunities! :P Bass is not my only instrument either, I started on the Violin, then moved to pan flute,(as I am of South American descent), classical guitar to bass. In addition I can bubble some keys and vibe the casual didgeridoo. Don't even ask me about drums, just play them for "goodness gracious sakes alive!" best profile tools real editor best profile tools
