basssonu + Musician in West Footscray, VIC

ABOUT

I released my debut album in March 2021 titled ‘Maximum Sessions Reached’ as a bassist/composer which you can check out on Apple Music, Spotify and Bandcamp (links below).

I love playing music and writing for a small ensemble. I’m always happy playing music that is genuine and has a message.

I was also featured on an album called 'Secret' which received a 4 star review in 'All About Jazz'.
