I make groovy bass lines for your tracks!

Hello! I am a professional musician born in 1992 from Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Graduated from Escuela de Música Juan Pedro Esnaola in 2015. Title: "National Music Teacher" (specialization in classical guitar)

My main instrument is the electric bass/double bass, but I play both classical and electric guitar, drums and percussion.

I play in several independent and self-managed projects and I have experience in live performances, recordings, composition, beatmaking and more.

About music styles it's hard for me to find something I don't like to play! haha I would love to work with you.

P.S.: In the audio example the volume of the original track was lowered so that the bass performance stands out on purpose!

Interview with Tomás De Souza

  1. Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?

  2. A: I started with music at 12 years old, I did secondary school in parallel to the music conservatory and to this day (I'm 32, so it's been 20 years!) I continue studying, playing and learning.

  3. Q: What type of music do you usually work on?

  4. A: Generally music related to jazz, funk, soul and derivatives but also rock, pop, r&b... oh and as a latino I also have some latin american rhythms in my repertoire!

  5. Q: What's your strongest skill?

  6. A: I think a valuable skill I have is adapting to different styles of music, rhythms and dynamics.

  7. Q: What's your typical work process?

  8. A: The first thing I do is listen to the entire track I'm going to work on several times (taking breaks to avoid saturating the ears obviously). Often, when listening, ideas emerge in my head, and then I replicate them on the instrument to see how they work. But I spend so much time with the instrument that it's hard to tell how it works! I often listen to tracks with the instrument already plugged in and improvise based on what I hear and then filter from there what I think might work for the song.
