SEEKING
Band to Join.ABOUT
Versatile Bassist & Vocalist
With 20 years of experience holding down the low end, I’m a passionate bass player and backup vocalist who thrives in a wide range of genres. From classic rock and funk to blues and beyond, I love creating tight rhythms and locking in with the band. I also dabble on acoustic guitar and step up to lead vocals when needed.
Currently playing with a cover band in the Edmonton scene, I’ve had the privilege of touring across the country and Denmark from 2007 to 2010 and recording two albums along the way. Whether it's laying down deep grooves or adding harmonies to the mix, I bring energy, experience, and versatility to every project.

Influences
My musical influences span generations and genres, reflecting a deep love for both timeless classics and modern rock. From the infectious funk grooves of Red Hot Chili Peppers to the iconic melodies of The Beatles and The Eagles, I’m inspired by bands that know how to craft a perfect song. The raw energy of The Rolling Stones, the gritty power of Soundgarden and Audioslave, and the electrifying presence of Aerosmith have all shaped my playing. I also vibe with newer sounds, like The Sheepdogs. Honestly, the list is endless

EQUIPMENT
My go-to basses include an American Fender Jazz 4 String and a Mexican Fender P 4 String. I turn to my Jackson X Series Concert Bass CBXNT 5 String for deeper, more complex ranges. Whether it's through a solid amp rig or a clean, amp-less setup, I can adapt to any performance or studio environment. I also keep a Fender acoustic guitar on hand.
