Creative bass player with wide range of experience. All I want to do is help you make something cool that you love! I love the challenge of working through a new style or working out the perfect bass part that serves your song the best I can. Primarily an indie musician, but have experience in most genres of popular music, jazz and classical.

I am a bass player, guitarist and vocalist originally from New Mexico, now based in NYC. I would love to record bass on your song, especially if you're looking for a unique bass line that helps tie the song together! I have spent most of my recording efforts working on indie and pop styles, especially rock. I also have a lot of experience with guitar and vocals and even do a solo project as a guitarist and vocalist if you need that instead. I have extensive experience improvising because I am a jazz bassist, and a lot of experience writing on bass or guitar.

I take writing the right bass part extremely seriously, and I feel that a bass should always serve the song while also helping to solidify the groove and create intrigue, so I tend to prefer lines that have some movement in the bass. Above all, I am extremely proud of my sense of time and groove. My creative approach to bass lines which is heavily inspired by the style of John Paul Jones from Led Zeppelin, but modern day bands like Peach Pit, Maddie Jay, and King Krule inspire my playing as well.

My experience and expertise:
Electric Bass - Indie rock, pop, jazz, rock, rap, hip-hop, CCM.

Upright/Double Bass - Jazz (straight ahead and fusion), classical, bluegrass and country

Guitar - Indie rock, singer songwriter,

Vocals - Indie and singer/songwriter

Comfortable reading or writing on all instruments!
