For as long as I can remember, I
have always loved the
feeling of low frequencies hitting me square in the middle of my chest. When I
was just 4 years old, I thought I had reached nirvana when I discovered the bass
control knob on my parents old hi-fi system. When I turned this knob up and
hugged the speaker, I felt the vibrations pulse through my body and was
instantly and forever a changed person! From then on, all I wanted to do was
play the bass, but first my parents put me through 8 years of
classical, modern and avant garde piano training. At the age of 15, when I got my first pay
check from my very
first job, I immediately went to the local music store and bought my first
electric bass and amp. (The total for both only came to $60!) Within a
week, I was already working with 2 bands and since then, I haven't looked back.
I
have become an accomplished electric fretted and fretless
bassist, double bassist and keyboardist. I am currently performing live and
touring with jazz/pop singer/songwriter extraordinaire, dbClifford, promoting his
