PAUL BUSHNELL on SoundBetter

Pocket and Hook!! From Earned It by The Weeknd to I Want Love by Elton John to Felt Good On My Lips by Tim McGraw to Still Haven't Met You Yet by Michael Buble to Long Gone(Rock Version) by Chris Cornell to Whenever Wherever by Shakira, I go the extra mile to find bass hooks for your songs. Pocket and Hooks..Let's Go!

Born in Dublin Ireland to a musical family, I cut my teeth busking on the streets of Europe and touring with some amazing Irish artists. I arrived in LA after Producing and playing Bass on the soundtracks for the Alan Parker film The Commitments. The sun and the city pulled me under their spell and so I set about finding my LA Rock n Roll family. Juggling gigs, sometimes multiple gigs a night, then rocking the length and breadth of the country in wicked mid ‘90’s alt-rock band Ednaswap as we toured with Weezer and No Doubt, my playing was exposed to many with whom I would soon begin to work in studio. Since then I have had the good fortune to record with many of my musical idols and inspirations; Elton, Phil, Neil, and am equally proud to have also been a part of the journeys of hundreds of emerging artists.
My 'superpower', I believe, is my versatility both stylistically and sonically. My ability to quickly identify what the song is calling for, deliver that, and then, guided of course by the song and the artist's vision, dig deeper for the hidden gems....The Hooks only a Bass can deliver!!
Let’s Have Some Fun!!

    A new collaboration with Paul on a track in progress. Paul laid down the bassline, giving the track a solid backbone in the low end and low-mids. This allows Ally to keep developing the instrumental before her lead voice. Paul showed incredible ease, going far beyond just the bassline. Thank you so much! Thomas ALLY DAXON'S PRODUCTION.

    Thank you to Paul for providing a strong, melodic bass track for my song. His work elevated the track and contributed to the overall atmosphere of the piece. Communication with Paul was prompt and the turnaround time was excellent. I will use Paul again on future projects.

    Big thanks to Paul B. for his incredible work on the bass for "LOSE MY MIND." It's exactly what we were looking for: bringing a rock-solid low-end foundation to the track. There's also some great creative work with different tones for each section of the song. Absolute craftsmanship. ALLY DAXON's production has gained an undeniable musical value since we started working here with Paul. Thank you a thousand times. Thomas and ALLY

    Paoul is one of the best bass players I've worked with in my career. Very precise and creative. I didn't think it was possible to get such good work remotely, something I could perhaps once achieve at this level in the best recording studios in London. For my song, he used perhaps the best bass, the Fender Jazz 5, with incredible punch.
