We're blessed to have one of the most sought after bass players in the R&B, Soul and Jazz with us today:
Kevin Brandon, aka. "Brandino" was Aretha Franklin's bassist for over 20 years and has worked with a-list artists across the board: From Mary J Blige and Justin Timberlake, to Outcast, Will.i.am, Joss Stone and many more.
In the interview, Brandino discusses his musical journey, the mentors he studied under and how he got to work with Aretha at an early age.
He shows off his favourite electric bass and amp, talks recording techniques, "locking in" a groove with the drummer and a his trademark sound: Using a 5-String Upright Bass in modern music!
I hope you enjoy this interview!
