JuliousBass

Born: November 8, 1972

Julious Bass (bio) Low end is an an absolutely fundamental element in hip-hop, and ironically, there aren't many bass players that present themselves as "hip hop bassists". The sample / digital dominated culture within the genre usually leave "old school" instrumentalists under the shadows, but this is definitely not the case of Julious Bass, who set out to create a unique sound with his sharp lyrical flow and groovy, funk-inspired slap bass lines - bridging the gaps between his own creativity and the technical skills learned at the London Music School. As a performer, Julious managed to share the stage with artists the likes of Busta Rhymes, Sean "Puff Daddy" Combs, Jennifer Hudson and Jay Z, just to name a few, while his own music ranges from hip-hop to rock, funk and soul with a kaleidoscopic feel, influenced by the likes of Jimi Hendrix, Victor Wooten,and Drake, among others Let the songs tell you the rest of the story, stream tracks and find out more about Julious Bass on his official website. http://www.juliousbass.com/
