shizznit Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 (edited) Hi everyone! Been using the forums for a few days now, but didn't realise there was one to allow newbies to introduce themselves! My name is Andy from Cardiff and I have been a bassist for 18 years and guitarist for about 22 years, but consider bass as my first instrument. I have played various styles over the years with many bands, but regard myself as a funk player predominantly. Was a signed artist for a short time, but never had any significant commercial success. I have mostly worked with many other artists on their projects and recordings and continue to play for several current artists and record companies across different genres. Strictly speaking, I guess you could call me a session musician, but I find my own work instead of using agencies (been ripped off too many times!). When I have the time, I also teach (mostly in the summer when the kids are off school). Though I am confined to my studio these days I still manage to escape to perform with my soul/funk covers band Nation Stack and also help out with the P&W band at my local church (gotta have faith baby!). The craft has provided me with a lot of highs and lows over the years, but I have been fortunate enough to perform in many countries around the world, played at some amazing venues and festivals and made a bunch of very friends along the way. Bass playing has given me a very colourful and fun lifestyle and I wouldn’t change it for anything!
