One of my favourite songs. I originally tried to upload this with the studio version but because of copyright I replaced it with an instrumental/karaoke backing track. One part at the start is a bit off because I originally recorded over the studio version and not this one, but the rest of the song should be alright. I got the instrumental backing track from here (all credit for the instrumental goes to their channel) -

adolescence (2017) aristhought.bandcamp.com

an album of songs from the past few years. the music reflects some of the experiences in the years of my life from high school until university.

really enjoyed the time spent experimenting and learning from this, and here's to more in the future.
thank you everyone, and to all the amazing folks in my life. im really grateful.

hope anyone who listens to this enjoys it in some way. cheers.

It's been ages but first year of uni and finals are done and now back to bass. Here's a cover of a song with one of my favourite basslines - it isn't perfect but really nice to be back playing/recording. Also neat fact, there are no breaks in this song to adjust my precariously balanced glasses, so that was fun. Hope you enjoy :) Use earphones/headphones to hear the bass clearly!

Thank you all so much for 1000 subscribers! The song has a nice and fun bass line. Wanted to give it a go so here's a version of it, should be very close to the live version. Based off of the Vevo live video on Youtube. Hope you enjoy the cover :) Use earphones/headphones to hear the bass clearly! [read more]

I love Tegan and Sara a lot so I wanted to quickly cover one of their songs. Definitely want to do more in the future. (The shirt I'm wearing was from their concert in Vancouver this year - had such a good time. Check out both their old and new music!)

A great song on bass; I was practicing and decided to record it now that I'm learning/have learned most of the song. Still sort of in the making, might make another version at some point. I take no credit for the tabs and everything - I learned off of an amazing cover and tabs (which I'll link below). Had a fun time with this. (READ MORE)

[Hold My Breath - original song]

---

A song I wrote during high school which has been re-recorded/changed so many times already. But here’s a “final” version for now (use earphones). It’s not perfect, and there's always room for improvement - but I’m happy with the work I put into it. All instruments + vocals played/recorded by me except the drums which were programmed on GB. Most of the lyrics/composition by 15~16 year old me, everything recorded + edited a few days ago. 

Part of an album that I hopefully will finish by the end of first year in university. Here’s to more trial and error and improvement.

First time recording in Vancouver (which will be home for at least the next 4 years) and with my new bass. This is not entirely an exact cover but kind of my interpretation of a song I really like. I've recorded/improvised/played around with so many versions of this already but this is one of them; might do another later on. Go listen to Love You To Death! (Such a great album)

Very honoured to be working on bass with an amazing team of musicians in Blackbirds to record the music and soundtrack for the show Harmony Revolt! Above is a preview of one of the songs (Revival) for Harmony Revolt, led by our wonderful producer (Aelita) 

Check out the first episode of Harmony Revolt below and subscribe to Phoenix Studios for more upcoming in the future!

Here's a requested cover - Hope you enjoy :) Watch in HD and use headphones/earphones to hear the bass clearly! There's more than one way to play the bass in this song but I quite enjoyed this one. (Click to read more)

Watch in HD and use headphones/earphones to hear the bass clearly! Youtube wouldn't let me use the original song w/ the vocals, so I used this amazing instrumental from here (though I lowered the bass in the instrumental for this cover): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0sEOnn3N8I 

I take no credit for the backing instrumental. Check it out; it's really good. 

Shout out to UG. I used these tabs as a general guide:

(Watch in HD for better quality!) It's been a while - officially done with IB exams now! Here's a cover of a fun song to start off. It isn't totally perfect but it's real fun to play; good to get back to the bass.

Fun song to play - Not 100% perfect but hope you like it! Still pretty tired from a busy term of school and revision to do in the holidays but I wanted to give this song a go. Cheers, and thanks for watching~

IB has been really busy lately so this is a really quick cover (I learned the song a long time ago). I still love playing it - contrary to my utterly unamused expression when I'm concentrating. Anyways hopefully I'll be able to practice more when exams are finished, but meanwhile I did want to play and upload something as it's been a while. It's not perfect but hope you like it ~

This was a requested one, hope you like it! Holidays just started and although things are still busy I want to post a quick cover; I loved playing this song a lot before (and I still do). Might not be perfect but hopefully it's alright. Definitely a real popular song to play on bass for good reason. Use headphones/earphones to hear the bass clearly!

Big thanks to CoverSolutions, which helped me out when I was originally learning this song and still provides great tabs!
