FREEKBASS  
 
Freekbass hails from Cincinnati, Ohio and honed his chops at an early age in the local music scene, known for its rich history of Funk. Legendary funk icon Bootsy Collins (who gave him his nickname during a studio session), produced his first two albums, dubbing Freekbass "The new Spiritual Warrior for the Funk". Freekbass jumpstarted his music career touring consistently and has played onstage or recorded with a multitude of notable musicians including Bootsy, Catfish Collins, Buckethead, Corey Glover, Umphery's McGee, Mike Gordon, and Dumpsta Phunk, to mention some highlights. And he's written and collaborated with so many talented artists, such as Stefan Lessard (DMB), Billy Sheehan, Mudbone Cooper, Doug Wimbish and Karina Rykman, to name a few.  His side project, "Headtronics" featured Freekbass on bass, DJ Logic on beats, Richard Fortus (GnR) on guitar and Steve Molitz on keys. The group performed completely improv, creating original music, live on stage.  
 
Freekbass has released nine albums to date, including his 2020 release "Krameria", from Eddie Robert’s label (The New Mastersounds), Color Red. Childhood friend and Grammy Award winning songwriter (Smooth), Itaal Shur, co-wrote several of the new tracks on the album, "All The Way This. All The Way That.” 
 
Freekbass has graced the cover of Bass Musician Magazine, Bass Guitar Magazine/UK, three times, and has been featured in Bass Player Magazine, several more. Recognized for his bass playing, as well as instruction techniques, Freekbass is featured on several bass teaching platforms and videos. He has hosted master classes at “Bass Player Live” in Los Angeles and New York, “The London Bass Guitar Show”, UK and “Gerald Veasley's Bass Boot Camp”. 
 
Freekbass tours as a one-man band, making his solo debut at the final “Sacred Rose Festival” in 2022. Essentially, he performs as a DJ (beats/samples/grooves), who adds live instrumentation: bass, guitar, keys, talk box and percussion, using a BOSS RC-505 loop station. He occasionally also hits the road as bass player for other touring bands or can be seen as “Artist at Large” at festivals. 
 
Freekbass has simultaneously segued into the world of live-streaming music, performing live original tunes on TikTok, while engaging with his virtual audience. In January 2024, Freekbass was crowned a winner for “TikTok Live Fest”, celebrating the top 30 creators, globally. Currently, Freekbass is on track to release a new single every month for a year, with each fresh tune available on all streaming platforms.
