Time to Introduce Myself...

Welcome. I hope you are enjoying the music.

-I am a musician, 36 years old. Currently I am a solo bassist trying to make music that combines the spirit of jazz along with a real attempt to make calm music that helps a listener feel supported in a very noisy world.

-I’ve recorded many albums and was a touring bassist and producer for many brilliant artists. I’ve been lucky to play shows all over the world and made so many friends in the process.

-I’ve been to all 50 states in the USA. I have some favorites (Indiana!) and some least favorites (this one is for in person discussion only)

-I had a poetry scholarship to university but it didn’t seem like a practical career. Genius that I am, I chose music instead haha!

-I love meditation, yoga, running, sitcoms, reading, writing, talking, and movies.

-I have a brain injury called Focal Dystonia. It’s a movement disorder that has made playing the bass very challenging. Despite this, I continue to play and believe that I can still make a beautiful sound.

-I have a Pomeranian named Chopin aka Chops. He loves belly rubs and…more belly rubs.

-I am grateful to be who I am, even if sometimes I wish I was more or less. I believe all things unfold as they should. My mission on this earth is to accept this every day, and try with all my might to make the person by my side feel more peace.

-I believe in all of us

…More on all these topics and others to come in the future. Thanks for reading. I hope you check in time to time because some of this might resonate with you and make you feel something.

with much gratitude,

Benny
