ABOUT
Looking for freelance gigs. My main instrument is bass but I also play guitar and can do backing vocals while playing either instrument if needed.
I started playing bass in 2009, then started learning guitar in 2012. I took band all through High School and learned basic music theory and how to read music (I played percussion but I don't really play anymore, I could also pull off a little bit of that if needed).
I've played in a few gigging bands before, I now regularly play at my church, Catch the Fire. I'll include links to their streams with me playing in them.
(In most of these videos I'm also band leading with a TalkBack mic)

Yes, all of these videos are church music, but thats only because I don't have other content on the internet. I am open to playing most genre's/styles. These videos are just to show that I am competent playing with a band live :)
Also I do have done studio recording a couple of times and would be interested in getting more experience with that.
