David LOUIS
Supergroovalisticprosifunkstication (The Thumps Bump)... I swear to play The Funk, The Whole Funk and nothing but The Funk.
In this world of computer programs, David stick to the old fashon way of playing music with real instruments.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I played different styles of music in many different bands as a singer and occasionaly as bass player or drummer.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I didn't get a chance to play seriously with other musicians because in Mali (where I am at the moment) you hardly hear anything but griot music, zouk, reggae and salsa. Funk & Jazz are not very popular overhere but hopefully as I'm planning to get back to western world...
Your musical influences
Every artists from the Funk Era, anything from James Brown, Sly, EarthWind,Gil Scott Heron, Uzeb, GRP Records to Prince.
What equipment do you use?
Fender JazzBass and anything that sounds "real".
