Hi, and welcome to my site.
I am a professional electric bass player and have been playing my instrument for over 30 years. During this time I have played about 600 gigs with many bands.
On this site I offer you my services as an educator, band and studio bass player, as a teacher for bass, improvisation, ensemble playing, recording and mixing and as a sound engineer.
My biggest influences to this day are progressive music in the broadest sense. Music that looks forward, goes deep and is not subject to the narrow and often commercial corset of the mainstream and pop culture. Jazz, metal and rock are my home. Due to my general interest and curiosity in all kinds of music, I feel confident in almost any style – except classical.
in the price section you can easily buy online lessons via paypal and more.
Have fun looking around my site 🙂
