About Me
Rhys Roberts is a 20 year old bassist based in London and Brighton. He's versatile, has perfect pitch, and is keen on learning new genres of music. He has experience in session work and has experience in working with bands.
He started his musical journey on keys at age 6, which he's been playing since. In lockdown at age 14, he picked up the bass as he formed a school covers band who needed a bassist, and was up for the challenge of learning a new instrument. Being self-taught, he learned the ropes through going to local jam nights, learning new songs every week whilst making sure practice was consistent. His inspirations are Mike Dirnt, Mark King, Henrik Linder and Jaco Pastorius. At 16, he played his first gig, a 2 hour set at a private venue.
Going to ELAM (East London Arts and Music college) really transformed Rhys as a person and as a musician too. He learned a lot through his peers and started listening to lots of different genres, causing him to find his fire for learning new styles of music, making him into who he is today.
Today, he attends university in Brighton, where he further studies music and hones his craft.
