SEEKING

ABOUT

I’m a bass player based in South East London, laying down low-end warmth on a vintage Fender P-Bass through a Fender Rumble, with EQ and compression dialled in for a clean, musical tone. I’ve got my own transport and I’m more than happy to travel for the right gig.

Blues has been in my blood for as long as I can remember, so feel, groove, and serving the song are at the heart of my playing. I love creating my own bass lines and bringing a musical, steady foundation to any lineup. Alongside blues, I’m genuinely excited by funk, soul, and rock projects...anything with groove, space, and intention.

(Not looking for heavy metal, punk, grunge, indie, or pop.)

If you’re after a reliable, easygoing, and committed bass player who learns the material, shows up prepared, and brings good energy to rehearsals and gigs, I’d love to hear from you. I’m open to joining established bands or jumping into brand-new projects — as long as there’s a clear vision and motivation driving the music.
