Skilled session bassist looking for further experience in recording sessions, gigs and touring. Highly experienced in live performance and in professional recording sessions.
I am highly experienced and adaptable on bass guitar, capable and knowledgable at playing across many styles and genres. I am also a proficient songwriter, having written a number of original songs (basslines and lyrics) as part of a band.
As a session bassist, I listen to a wide variety of genres which gives me a unique approach to creating basslines and melodies. I am versatile and willing to play in numerous different genres however I have the most experience in playing and writing alternative rock songs.
I have played multiple times in established Glasgow venues such as St Luke's and the Art School with several bands, playing both original music and covers.
I am offering my skills across Scotland for recording sessions, adverts and jingles, film scores/TV shows, gigs and touring roles.
