Influences: My main musical influence for playin bass is (in my opinion) the greatest bass player of all time - Jaco Pastorius, ’He opened the door for others and we all walked through’. Other influences have been Stu Hamm, Victor Wooten,Mark King and Flea. The bands that I really dig are Avenged Sevenfold,The Chillies, Greenday, Creed, 3Doors Down, Alter Bridge, Nickleback, Papa Roach, Blink182, Disturbed, buckcherry,Foo Fighters, My Chemical Romance, Muse, Fallout Boy,Simpleplan,keane,the killers,pearl jam, the fray,bowling4soup,good charlotte,the feeling,10cc(old school) rascall flatts,30 seconds2mars,kings of leon,biffy clyro,queens of the stoneage,matchbox20,the days,the decoders blah blah blah! I love all music including Country, Opera, Rap, Jazz, Funk ("If it aint jazz, it aint worth a funk"!) and often incorporate features of these forms into my kind of style. A big UP to top session bass player Phil Williams who has also been instrumental to my love for the bass. Check Phil out on the ’East of Java’ website.
