I can write/record the perfect bass part for your song.
The bass is the backbone of your song, providing a link between the rhythm of the drums and the harmony/melody of the track. The bass line can make or break your song. Imagine Billie Jean without that iconic bass part or Vulfpeck without Joe Dart. You already know this, that’s why you’re here!
I’ll put down a tasty, grooving and genre appropriate bass track for your song, I’m perfectly happy playing a simple but solid line or lending my unique ‘voice’ to the track. I specialise in creating hook laden bass parts and stand out moments in that really shine and enhance the track.
You can give me as much direction as you like or let me do my thing. All will be recorded on my professional quality home studio gear.
I have 25 years bass playing experience and 17 as a full time professional. I have lots of great studio experience and have played all over the UK and Europe including venues such as The Royal Albert Hall, Cardiff Motorpoint Arena, and Birmingham Symphony Hall. I have played on records by Silver Disc awarded artists, BBC Folk Awards Best Musician nominees and have been a featured part in mixes by Michael Brauer.
