jwaltonbass + Musician in Homestead, FL

SEEKING

ABOUT

I am a 28 year old Bass guitar and Tuba player from Miami Fl. I've been a musician for the majority of my life playing in wind ensembles, jazz bands, marching band, second line, latin, reggae, RnB, blues, rock and playing gospel music in weekly church services throughout south florida. I have a Bachelors in Tuba Performance from Florida International University. I also have some background in studio production and live sound engineering working in theaters as stage hands, A1 and A2. My main focus is playing bass guitar and sousaphone, but I try to stay well versed and open to new opportunities to work and learn new things.
Currently, I perform regularly with a funk and jam band group called Pockit Funk, and a blues and Rock cover group. I also sub for groups like Locos Por Juana and I am a work for hire bassist and sousaphone player. I am a general elementary music teacher in Redland Fl, and I reside in Homestead.
