Charming, proficient, and overwhelmingly communicative bassist seeks those in need of delicious low end for any song. For the last 23 years I've toured and recorded for artists like Chris Brown, H.E.R., Jazmine Sullivan, Chris Brown, Jimmie Allen, and more. Find out why!

I've been doing remote session work since 2014 with clients all over the world. In that, I come with deep understanding on how to co-create remotely. Long before lockdown, I was helping producers assemble some of the tracks you're hearing right now. You've heard me on Billboard #1 singles (Damage by H.E.R., On It by Jazmine Sullivan, Hrs and Hrs by Muni Long) as well as demos and sample pack libraries by creators like Dylan Graham and Teddy Oso. With my in studio and virtual experience working alongside some of the top producers in the industry (Ross Lara, Cardiak, Dylan Graham, M-Phazes, Ralph Tiller)

I'm here for folks like beginners who need full ideas with only drums as a starting point to people like mixing engineers needing a quick fix on a "flubbed" part. And literally everything in between.

While most of my credits are in the rnb / hip-hop world, I have a sound understanding of Country, Rock, Pop-Country, Pop-Rock (yes they're completely different genres 😂), EDM, House, UK-country, and even K-pop. I love all types of music and all types of people. I also want to talk to the person who doesn't think their music is worth anything right now. YES. YES IT IS!

No matter the size or scale of your project, I'm here to help!

TLDR: Here's how we can get started.

Send over a mix of your song, it's bpm, and your notes. 🤷🏼‍♂️ It's really that easy. 💪🏻

    Wow! Great bass-line....simple but unique. I...I....I..I...I...Love It! I'll will now call you "Mr. one take Bass Man." I love the cool sexy R&B, Motown/Pop old school gospel vibe. Your bass line reminds me of that old gospel song from the 90s "Hold On Change Is Coming."
    So amazing! I keep dancing. Well done Isaac....Your groovy soulful bass took the song to another level...So cool & Sexy. Thanks so much....you nailed It!
    Cheers!

    Isaac is an phenomenal bass player! He laid down 2 different basslines, both of which I could have used. They were so good. His groove and feel is next level. I loved working with him and plan to do so again in the near future!

    Isaac is a true pro and great communicator! Not to mention, talented AF! Isaac is much more than a session bass player. He's a creative songwriter that will take your track to the next level with his sick ass bass lines. I feel like bassists are one of the more under appreciated elements of a track but artists like Isaac are out here changing that.

    Isaac's one of the best to ever do it. After working with him for a quick turn-around track for an indie artist, I can tell why his resume is so impressive. Skill, professionalism, communication, all fantastic. Definitely will be hiring again!

    First of all, Isaac has the best vibe a creative person can ask for. He was interested in getting it right and that he did. Really the first take was magic. Just what the song needed. He's an absolute pro and an amazing bass player. thank you Isaac! Till the next time.

    Issac is money in the bank. Rock solid. He laid down a great foundation for my song but I wanted something different when I heard it. He’s smart and has a really great attitude and was able to go in a different direction and nail it. He’s a bad ass.
