Albert

Bio:

Albert Hobson was born and raised in Seattle, Washington. From a very early age, Albert was drawn to the sound of the bass. As a twelve year old, Albert made his own bass after hearing a bass being played on Sanford and Son. The next year, Albert Hobson's father got him a bass guitar for christmas. From then on, Hobson devoured bass lines by such funk greats as Bootsy Collins, Larry Graham, and many more. During those years, Albert was unknowingly developing into a "pocket" bass player. Eventually, Albert would end up playing in some great bands. Among the artists that Albert would eventually play with are Kenny G, Mavis Staples, Rene Escovedo, Grammy coordinator Larry Batiste, and many more artists. Albert has studied with some of the best which include: Carl Falls, Dale Titus, Tony Saunders, and Vuyani Wakaba. Recently, Albert called on good friend and fellow bassist Vuyani Wakaba to help promote his new AuDio CuLtuRes release, Breaking the Sound Barrier- see the website-www.audiocultures.com. Currently, Albert can be found playing among the top tier musicians of the San Francisco Bay area as a "first call" and session bassist. The styles of music he covers include Funk, Jazz, R&B, and everything in between. (AuDio CuLtuRes is a Nothern California Bay Area group founded by Clyde Childress and Albert Hobson, who have maintained a 30 year friendship)
