I started playing bass guitar around 1998 and have since progressed my education through the form of "music". I come from a family of musicians, in which both my father and grandfather played bass (my grandfather played upright). After finishing at school I went to college to do music full time, and after getting a BTEC diploma in Music Technology I moved on to study for BA(Hons) Degree in Commercial Music. I recently graduated from Bath Spa University with a BAHons Degree in Commercial Music.
As well as all the playing, I decided to write and publish my own transcription books. I was always interested in notating scores of bass lines I would hear on records so I decided to pursue a Jamiroquai publication in 2004. I'm a fan of Jamiroquai (especially the SZ days) and always wondered why there were never any books available whilst the bass is so damn funkay! So I wrote and published my own, available from my website.
I'm currently working as a music/ict technician, and still pick up the bass from time to time (not as much as I would like though!). Although i'm not tied down to a band at the moment, I collaborate with other artists in the studio and produce my own stuff.
I have one (just one!) wonderful girlfriend, a mum, a dad, one brother, and two sisters (plus all the extras - grandparents, cousins etc...). I hope you enjoy myspace. Feel free to contact me if needs must!
Peace.
