I'm a bassist and playing bass brought me to Los Angeles from Baton Rouge in the 1980s. I also play the piccolo bass; a hi strung bass that sounds like a thick guitar. It can be played acoustically or through guitar amps. This instrument has become a unique sound in my productions. Since the early 90's I've recorded, mixed, mastered and/or produced many different artist. My desire for good recordings has brought me to what odark30 is today. I’ve played bass with artists including Tommy Tutone, Tori Amos, David Cassidy, Stryper, Wendy Maharry, Thompson Twins, Eric Carmen, Leroux and Cory Sipper. Commercial recordings include: Coke, "ABC 7" Chicago, General Mills, Asics, Kawasaki, Outback Steakhouse, Saturn and Korean Airlines. I also have background in Analog Tape-Archiving and building
