Bio
Amchok Gompo Dhondup was born in a nomadic family in Amdo, Tibet. He didn't have the opportunity to go to school when he was young, but he taught himself how to play the damnyen (a six-stringed lute) while he was herding yaks in the mountains. He also learned many songs from the elders in his village. When he was 14 years old, he ran away to study Tibetan folk music. He studied from many legendary Tibetan folk musicians in Amdo Machu. After he completed his music studies he participated in many musical competitions and won many awards. In the year 2000, he went to India as refugee, and met with His Holiness the Dalai Lama who asked him to teach at the Tibetan Institute for Performing Arts. He taught there until he came to Canada. In the year 2005, he came to Canada through the Banff Center. Since coming to Canada he has continued to tour internationally as a musician and studies English, Western music, and computers. At present he is one of the most respected artists in the Tibetan community as has recorded seventeen albums. Amchok Gompo is a Tibetan Canadian artist who has performed internationally in over12countries.Asinger/songwriter with traditional Tibetan instruments, his original performances are both inspiring and meditative. He has performed with Grammy-nominated artist Nawang Khechog and for the Dalai Lamas official visit to Canada. Amchok Gompo Dhondup has continued to evolve as an artist and since 2008 has been involved in film. His current movie, "Unpredictable Life" is his first feature film. -

Well good morning to you my friend, I hope all is well and that you have yourself a happy and productive forthcoming week.
I would like to as a favour of you if I may (I don't ask for much usually eh, haha)
I have recently picked a winner for my first "Bassment" competition at Bass Musician Magazine, and his name is IGOR FRANCA from Brazil.
All I ask is that you click on his link below and request Igor as a friend, he is a great guy and I think he would really appreciate your request and I am sure you would enjoy having him as a friend too.
Igor plays wonderful music and is genuinely a very nice humble guy, who I would really like to help along a little if I can.
I would very much appreciate it, if you could just click twice for me...Once one the link and once on requesting Igor as a friend at.... http://www.myspace.com/igorfrancabass... Tell him Biscuit asked you to drop by eh !

The thought manifests as the word,
The word manifests as the deed,
The deed develops into habit,
And habit hardens in character,
So watch the thought and its ways with care,
And let it spring from love,
Born out of concern for all beings…
As the shadow follows the body,
As we think, so we become- Buddha (from the Dhammapada)
