Song: Leave The Door OpenArtists: Bruno Mars, Anderson.Paak, Silk SonicThis song feels so good and it’s low key hilarious. Had to play to it a little. 😁#leavethedooropen #andersonpaak #brunomars #silksonic #fenderjazzbass #5string #basscover #bassvideo #playingathome #practicemakesprogress #matterypowered by @matterypowered

Baby me wanted to be a drummer so bad lmao. People tell me stories about how I would beat on anything that makes noise. I’d beat on pots and pans at relative’s homes (if they let me) and, when I got older, I would get in trouble in class for becoming restless and making beats on the desks. I’d like to take this time to tell others to feed into the passions of your children. Children will tell you from a very young age what they’re interested in. It may not always be verbal, but children will always physically show what they’re naturally drawn to. These passions may annoy you and they may not be what you wanted for your children, but supporting what they enjoy will work out so much better in the end. 😊#childrenspassion by @matterypowered

Playing over the piano solo on “The Other Side” by @thisismoonchild . The solo is beautiful and has resonated with me since I first listened to it. I would say I transcribed it, but I pretty much just listened to it until I had it. 😂#moonchild #theotherside #fender #fenderjazzbass #basssolo #basscover #pianosolo #bassist #5string #musician #musicislife #instrumental #practicemakesprogress #quarantine #quarantinelife #matterypowered by @matterypowered

Since Instagram won’t let me post my “Are You That Somebody” cover, y’all are about to get this serene bass loop 😂. Making melodies and playing around with them isn’t my strong suit, so I’m practicing to make it feel easier. #bassloop #fender #fenderjazzbass #5string #bassist #basssolo #basscover #meditation #myhappyplace #practicemakesprogress #quarantinelife #matterypowered by @matterypowered

Playing to “Cheers” by @anderson._paak. Just a friendly reminder that my post doesn’t mean that the world is going back to normal. Ain’t shit sweet. Black people are still dying and many other oppressed people are still dying. If we all don’t keep the heat on, this shit will continue. Don’t wait for things to go back to normal. If that’s what you’re waiting on, you’ve already lost.#andersonpaak #qtip #cheers #fender #fenderjazzbass #5stringbass #practicemakesprogress #matterypowered by @matterypowered
