First Competition

Haha I found this. My first artistic competition ever. I was so stressed, I was puking, shaking, all my family and friends were there, 2000 people in the audience, I had 10 minutes to proove them what I could do on bass.

I was 19 year’s old. I was practicing 8 hours per day to built up this bass solo. Divided in 3 parts.

Damn. Determination, practice, passion made me win the first prize.

Engineer Ceremony

So today I got booked to play at the annual Engineer Ceremony. The event where all the graduates engineers receive their rings. So I’ll give 30 minutes of solo bass show in front of students, PHDs, parents, teachers. How cool is that? Audience= 3000 people. Oh and the paycheck is ALOT.

So Im starting NOW to write my solo bass show setlist and will begin practice asap!

[Updated]

Here’s a quick draft of my set list of that show I made after my bass practice.

U.S.A Tour

Anyone can do whatever they want. To be a musician you don’t have to wait to a certain time to do shows. To be good. To be ”professional”. You don’t need a full band. You don’t need booked shows to play. You don’t need ”contacts”. Just go outside with the people you feel a good musical chemistry and play play play. I receive tons of emails of people telling me: ” I’m a bassist but I can’t find a band. I can’t play shows. I don’t know what to practice”. Just pick up your bass and play whatever you feel like. Whatever you love. All the other things will come to you naturaly. I’m a full time IT Enginering student with a part time job and I can manage my time to go out and do as many shows I want. Without any planification! Click HERE if you dont believe me. hehe :) To practice bass and to upload alot of videos on youtube. You don’t have to drop out school to do that. It has to be all natural.

so the 19-20-21 august, me, Dan our tour bus driver and Gr81 the Mc, we will pack up all my gear and go in a mini tour around the states. Our concept is simple: Stop by anywhere we feel like, plug our instruments and play. Improvise. Solo Bass hip-Hop. It will be so fun!

So if you want to suggest any cool places to play in the states, just comment this blog post with your city in USA and we will try our best to come near that place.

We will give some free cd’s of some songs of me and gr81. You can hear some of them here:

Slash and Flea in the studio yessssssss
