Aja
Believer. NYC area bassist / musician - Funk, R&B, Jazz
My musical development began in the vibrant music scene of NYC area, including a stint at the legendary Rhythm Section Lab where I studied with Ernie Proventure, Ed Friedland, Rick Laird and others.
Having played in some of the tri-state area’s hottest bands, I’ve soaked in the essence of jazz, funk, R&B, and soul, infusing my playing with a rich tapestry of musical influences.
I’ve spent years honing my skills as a bassist, both on stage and in the studio. With seven years of teaching experience under my belt, I’ve had the privilege of shaping aspiring musicians into skilled bassists.
