About / Biography

My name is Walter, I'm a 35-year-old bass player originally from Peru (South America) but currently based in Norwich, UK. I have around 20 years' performing experience. I also play electric and acoustic guitar (rhythm and lead). I love what I do and I am very professional about it. I am used to playing with different bands in many varied formats every week, frequently doing shows with no rehearsal and jamming with new musicians. I am versatile and creative, reliable and trustworthy. I am always ready to give 100% with great energy and good vibes. I have my own transport and equipment. I also have experience as a songwriter; writing and co-writing is one of my great passions.

I am available for hire for studio work and live events. I also offer various formats for live shows such as duo, trio, quartet, quintet and sextet. These lineups could include guitar, bass, sax, trumpet, vocal, drums (full drumkit) and percussion.
