Started playing bass in 2009. Self taught from start, studied theory and played in concert band (electric) and orchestra (double bass) throughout highschool. Working on diploma for Contemporary Jazz.
Looking for other members to practice, write and play in a band. I can play along to most genres, I have a decent ear in terms of note finding.
