My name is Patrick Leao Volpe and I am a bassist from Brazil, currently located in Leeds,UK.
I have been playing professionally for about 10 years, starting in Traditional Music bands back in Brazil and Italy, where I was part of G.R.A.S Feliz da Vida drum ensemble, one of the main exponents of traditional Brazilian Samba in northern Italy.
When I came to the UK, I studied in Leeds College of Music, where I graduated with a high 2:1 and have been playing with recording artist George Marios as well as touring singer/pianist Olly Jacobs, who recently headlined Browstock Festival.
