My goal is to capture an artistic impression for your songs, nailing the bass lines but also playing some phrases that can bring color and soul to your music.
I´ve been touring and recording with artists of different styles, pop, singer-songwriters, R&B and other for the last 15 years, always focused on playing what music needs to groove.
I´ve been also producing my own projects with a freer and more creative musical approach, which has contributed a lot to my work as a sessionist.
Im offering to record a tight bass line following the drummer or compose a more free, open or melodic one that can color your music.
In my soundcloud you can find some songs from my projects

Interview with Manuel Llosa
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: I am working as a film music composer and producer, recording as a session player for various artists and also producing the third album by Gonzalo Di Muro, a great musician from Argentina.
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: Yes, I have incredible colleagues working here: Nacho de la Riega, Pablo Guarnieri, Van Vliet, Gil Pinzon, Laura Corazzina and Juan Huici among others.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: A bit of both, to record and produce I am in love with the digital world. It is very useful to work with high-end plugins when recalling a mix or modifying the sound of an already recorded instrument. But when it comes to playing an instrument there is nothing I love more than being in contact with the wood and feeling the strings on my fingers.

A: I cover a lot of styles including Pop, Rock, Soul, R&B, Funk, Jazz, Blues, Reggae and more.
