CLASSIC LOWS

I’ve been playing classical guitar since I was about nine years old, but going into my teenage years, I started being exposed to a lot of rock music through the underground club scene. The first by the Stooges was when I was around 16—I really clearly remember hearing ‘Dirt’ and ‘Down On The Street’, and instantly wanting to switch from guitar to bass, so I guess Dave Alexander and Ron Asheton were my original inspiration. Geezer Butler and Jean-Jacques Burnel are two of my perennial influences when it comes to tone and style, and just all-round effortless coolness.
