WHY I PLAY BASS


“…do I play bass?” Oh! I guess I don’t see myself primarily as a bass player but a musician. I could have been a pianist, a drummer or a dancer for that matter. However, I believe the BASS chose me. Circumstances and fate may have been instrumental in that process. I have no regrets for having been chosen to play bass, as it gives me an opportunity to be highly effective whilst I am in the background. Affording me the power to influence without being too upfront. Bass has helped me develop a strong sense of harmony and rhythm.
