I am a professional session bass player with over 30 years of experience. I have a unique solo bass project which involves playing great bass lines from popular songs along with backing tracks creating a "live DJ experience" and getting the party started!
I have been playing bass from an early age and have recorded and toured with lots of known artists Mica Paris, Ruby Turner, Beverley Knight and tv appearances with Cher, Rhianna and Pharell. I am the musical director for Boney M (currently touring). I cover lots of genres including pop, soul, disco, Motown, and jazz. My project 'B-Line Central' is a concept that I came up with over the lockdown period and is still evolving.

This is a solo project with myself on the bass guitar alongside backing tracks

happy to let the client choose any music to play between sets
I performed at a private event and was really amazed by the warm reception they gave me. They sang and danced all evening and wanted more after my last set. It was a great night and will be happy to perform there again.
Without being biased in any way my favourite band is Boney M not because I am the bassist for them but they have lasted this long and still have a huge fan base with great songs too, my favourite being "Daddy Cool" as this always gets everyone on their feet.
I started playing the bass guitar at a young age (6) and have performed on TV and toured extensively with different artistes. I really enjoy seeing the audience connecting with the music and this is what its all about. I have toured with Boney M and done TV work with Cher, Craig David and Rhianna.
I love playing at small intimate venues because you can connect and see the faces also enjoy big arenas for the vibe and sheer noise the audience make.
I have played music most of my life and like the idea of giving back and sharing my experiences whether its with a band or on my solo project, its rewarding and fulfilling.
