Carlos Hidalgo

A very respectful-professional attitude who is punctual, well prepared and well equipped.

Carlos Hidalgo is an American bass player and composer. His love and passion for music began at the age of 12 when he enrolled in his school's orchestra. After taking lessons for all four instruments of the string family he chose and got placed on double bass. That is when his passion for bass emerged. At 16 years of age he received his first electric bass from a close friend and mentor in which with countless hours of practice, proper guidance from professionals, his own experimentation of meshing different genres of sounds, and a deep passion for low growly warm tones is where his wide range of experience, love, and commitment of today comes from. He's a hard working professional with an incredible groove strict at improving himself everyday for what the demand of today's music requires and although his training is extensive, he is best described as playing by feel. His playing experience includes national performances such as P.O.D., 10 Years, and various cover bands.
