About Me

..I am a bassist from Des Moines, Iowa now living in New York. I am studying at The New School for jazz. I am playing a lot here in NYC but always lookin for more projects to be involved with. I am still playing with my trio The Void when ever I get home. Seth and Joel (The Void) are the two greatest human beings on the face of the earth. I am so blessed to have friends like them! I also play with a guy named Matt Wright, but he never calls anyone back so there have not been too many gig with him recently. But his music is amazing you should check it out. I also work for a music website called Rawrip.com Its a new site, if you are interested please let me know I am happy to answer any questions you have. Its a site that muscians can sell their music for a fair price, and they dont take any of the rights to your music! The site is run by one of my best friends so I give you my word that its not another waste of your time. Anyway thanks for stoping by. Hope you dig the tunes. Have a great day! God Bless BEn Mars
