ABOUT

Beats and Bass - By Grant.R.D

Experienced Bass Player & Producer – Gold Coast

I’m a bass player with 20 years of experience, based on the Gold Coast. Over the years I’ve performed in a wide range of settings – from cover bands and corporate gigs to original projects and studio sessions. My focus is always on serving the song, locking in with the groove, and providing a solid foundation across styles.

In addition to live and studio bass work, I’m also skilled in music production and beatmaking. This allows me to collaborate with artists and producers on a deeper level — from laying down basslines to shaping full tracks and grooves.

I’m reliable, professional, and easy to work with – whether it’s live shows, rehearsals, recording, or production work. Looking to connect with bands, musicians, and producers.
