About Me
Hey, I’m James! I’m a musician originally from Petersburg, VA. I’ve been playing different instruments in bands since 1995. I’ve played wind instruments, drums and percussion, keyboards, and now my primary instrument is bass guitar. I’m also an arranger, producer, live sound mixer, and recording engineer.
I’ve toured the country playing for different bands and as the musical director and bass guitar player for a musical stage play.
One of my favorite feelings in the world is being locked into a groove with the rest of the band. Music is a universal language and I love sharing it with the world!
Although I have and will play ANY genre of music, I particularly find joy in playing gospel, R&B, neo soul, jazz, and pop.
Some of my bass guitar influences include James Jamerson, Nate Watts, Verdeen White, Henrik Linder, Morgan Turner, and Thaddeus Tribbett.
