About this user

Born in London in 1972, via-Stroud, Oxford, Brighton and now living in Brixton, Mike initially studied Fine Art Printmaking at Falmouth College Of Art (graduating with a 2:1 BA Hons Degree), but subsiquently followed a career as both a musician and music journalist. Playing bass guitar for 24 years he's mainly self-taught though he has studied privately with great bass players Mike Mondesir, Steve Lawson, John Goldsby, and Rob Statham. All this has helped him play music from across the spectrum of styles; from full-on rock bands to piano jazz trios, even a little classical opera group. Playing countless live gigs and numerous recording sessions, has made him a very versatile bassist.

Mike has played with some amazing musical talent that includes live performances with members of Oxford dance band legends The Egg (playing live on MTV and Channel 5), opera singer Heather Cairncross, jazz musicians Soweto Kinch, Robert Mitchell, Tom Pilling, Roy Dodds, Robin Banerjee (Amy Winehouse), Lauren Dalrymple (Jazz Warriors), Mamadee Kamara (Courtney Pine, Andy Sheppard) Dylan Howe, Shannon Harris (Wheatus, Lilly Allen), Ben Sarfas (Lou Rhodes). Mike also perfomed a week of concerts with London funk band Jasco at the 2005 Koh Samui Music Festival in Thailand on the bill with bands Da Lata, Laurence Cottle's Big Band, UB40 and Jerry Lee Lewis. In June 2009 he performed at the Jazz au Chellah festival in Rabat, Morocco in a quartet Paula Rae Gibson, Sophie Alloway and Tom Pilling.

Having played bass guitar professionally for over 15 years - and performed with a wide range of jazz, pop and world music artists Mike has played at many of London's top venues, including the Queen Elizabeth Hall, the LSO St Lukes and Cargo - as well as Birmingham's CBSO hall.
