Daniel recently discovered the S.A.Bass site. We got talking and I put a few questions to the man to find out a bit more about him. This is what he told me in December 2007

 

How long have you been playing Daniel?

10 Years

 

How did you get started?

 

I was kind of forced to start playing in church as the bassist in church stopped coming .

 

What’s your favourite band / solo artist?

 

Stanley Clarke, Marcus Miller, Earth Wind and Fire, Israel Houghton’s Band

 

What are the amps and instruments you currently use?

 

Peavey TKO 115 Bass Amp with Ibanez SR505, Cort B5, Semi Acoustic Stagg Bass

 

What instruments would you like to have if money were no object?

 

Warwick Limited Bass & a Nice 6 x 10 SWR OR Fender Bass Amp with a bass pod for some effects

 

What have you been doing for the last five years or so?

 

Just been gigging and rehearsing nothing serious

 

What recordings that you’ve played on would you recommend for listening?

 

None yet!

 

 

What’s been the low point in your career so far?

 

I think every muso gets to a point where there are no gigs coming your way that’s one of my low point’s

 

And what has been the high point?

 

When in September this year, I got a call out of nowhere from an American artist called Bill Drake and was asked to play for him whilst touring in Cape Town

 

What are your goals currently?

 

To do a recording, do more corporate gig’s and play with some influential South African Musicians that will help me grow as a muso.
