ABOUT ME A Career Built on Groove Music has been my life for over four decades. From intimate jazz clubs to festival big stages, from late-night studio sessions to TV broadcasts, I bring dedication and passion to every project. What defines my work is groove and quality sound. Finding the best sound for the track, often from a broad palette of tones and colors that I keep in my tool box. I´ve been playing fretless bass since the 1980s, and it has become my main voice. The expression and strength I bring with a fretless bass add a distinctive depth and character to the low end of your tracks.
