Band to Join.

ABOUT

26 year old Essex-based bassist and guitarist. Available for dep work and session/studio work.

I'm confident in multiple styles of music, with an already large repertoire and the ability to learn most works fairly quickly within reason of course. I'm most adept in alternative rock and indie rock but I'm no stranger to disco, funk, metal, pop and anything else I have thrown my way. I have a good working knowledge of music theory and experience working with live sound and studio equipment.

Please do excuse the poor audio quality of some of the example tracks I've uploaded. They're all early demos of original material that I had backed up in cloud storage, as I had to replace my computer setup recently and lost a lot of better quality material. All of the guitar and bass in the example tracks is my own playing and all of the piano, strings and drums is me playing via a MIDI keyboard. I hope they adequately provide a satisfactory representation of my broad style and adaptability as well as my general ability to create original works.

If you’re not currently looking for a guitarist or bassist for your band but have stumbled across my profile then please do save my details below should you ever need cover for either of those roles at "less than perfect" notice. I’m always open to dep work. I also have an adequate home recording set-up so I can write and record anything remotely should you need it.
