ABOUT
Hi all,
I'm a bassist and (learning) piano player looking to get back into the regular gigging circuit and up for trying any style. Love doing great covers but happy to work in the creative process also.
I've recently completed grade 6 bass guitar and grade 4 piano to get my chops back up after getting myself established in a normal job.
