About Me
I'm an experienced bass player with a passion for metal, prog, and mathy odd-time signatures, though I'm open to exploring almost any genre that brings interesting musical challenges.
Musically influenced by Sting, I've developed a versatile playing style through both formal training and self-teaching. I've spent most of my life playing in touring bands, which has given me extensive live performance experience across various venues and audiences. Previous bands include Five Star Prison Cell (Melbourne), Hashshashin (Syd) and Voidchaser (Canada)
What I Bring to the Table:
My strength lies in complementing what others have written and making it better. I pride myself on really locking in with drummers to create a solid rhythm section foundation. Rather than dominating the spotlight, I focus on serving the song and enhancing the overall sound.
What I'm Looking For:
I'm seeking committed musicians who share my passion for creating and playing music.
My current goals include writing original material, recording, and performing live. I'm available for weekly rehearsals and fully committed to putting in the work needed to make great music happen.
If you're a dedicated musician looking for a bass player who can help take your songs to the next level, let's connect!
