Overview

I’m a highly skilled versatile bass player available for hire, with a strong mix of technical ability and natural feel for music. I am comfortable across different genres, my favourites being latin, funk, reggae, jazz, blues. I bring solid, dynamic basslines that add real depth to any track. In the studio, I work with others and contribute ideas that help push the music further. Live, I bring good energy and stay locked in, keeping that groove tight while connecting with the crowd. I take pride in being reliable and professional, not just holding things down, but helping the whole band sound better. And lastly, let's have some fun!

Quick learning, and wonderful people

Aleks and his father Sasha came in on short notice, learned an 8 song set, and absolutely delivered on game day. We had one rehearsal before hitting the stage, and BAM! Everything came together so very well. Thank you Aleks and Sasha for coming together and putting on an amazing show with me!

You won’t find better

I was fortunate to have shared a live stage with Aleks and you won’t find better.
He knows how to play, and more importantly, he’s smooth, has tact, and understands the space between the notes is just as important as the notes themselves.
He always finds exactly the right notes to play at the exact time it’s needed.
Excellent bass player, great attitude, and a joy to to play with.
