Influences: Too many to mention at the moment.....! I LOVE MUSIC. Jazz, free improvisations, rock, soul, funk, grooves.I've been a huge Weather Report/Jaco Pastorius fan since I started playing. Skúli Sverrisson, Hilmar Jensson, Jim Black, Chris Speed and Cuong Vu have been doing amazing inspiring music for years now.I also love old school Motown, all the James Jamerson classic basslines. Bach and Frank Zappa also have their place.... and Bulgarian Womens Choirs and Bulgarian folk music in general is fascinating.I also like music from the ECM label, both old and new.Here are some (modern) electric bass players that I find amazing: Skúli Sverrisson, Matthew Garrison, Tony Grey, Richard Bona, Anthony Jackson..... to name a few!Feel free to check out what music I'm checking out these days .
