Hello everyone, I'm Dave. I'm a freelance musician and bassist in Jake's band, Bare Jams. I've been playing bass for over 17 years and have achieved a BA Hons in Music Performance. Outside of music, I teach Music Business, Music Direction and Project innovation at The Academy of Contemporary Music in Guildford and London across their undergraduate and postgraduate courses. I am a certified Sector Expert and Peer Reviewer for the company CLOCK Your Skills, which recognises people's invisible skills and professional experience through industry and academic qualifications in countries such as the UK, Australia, Finland, Spain, Saudi Arabia and The Netherlands. Besides my professional work, I am also a part-time student at The University of Westminster, enrolled on their Music Business Management Masters degree programme. As well as helping Jake with this project, I am also available for any consultation and advice on the above, so please feel free to give me a shout!

Hey gang! My name is Eden Lole, I’m an independent artist in London. Just wanted to share a bit of a success story, in case it inspires you/provides a bit of hope! I’ve recently announced my debut UK tour this Spring. With a bit (a lot) of help from Jake, I’ve met great promoters/venues, and I’m heading out this April. I also received some help from Dave (bassist of Bare Jams), who designed the poster for it. This is all to say, don’t be afraid to ask for some help! There are people in this group who can help you get to where you want to be, all you have to do is ask. As a bit of a thank you, I’d like to offer some guest list spots up if anyone is in the UK who would like to come. Drop me a comment and let’s connect!

Interested to see what your experiences are with this.
