Victor Wooten
One of five brothers, Victor is often referred to as the greatest bass player alive at this moment. Having started learning music at the age of 2, it wasn’t long until he was performing with his family band at age 5, even opening shows for Curtis Mayfield at age 6!
Having been on the scene since 1990 as a founding member of Bela Fleck, Victor is showing no signs of slowing down and is now a multi grammy winning artist. He has released solo albums featuring nothing but his 4-string bass and himself, something relatively rare however these albums were met with open arms and critical acclaim, with his first studio album referred to as the ‘most important bass record of all time.’
With a talent like Victors, it’s no surprise that fans and fellow bass players from around the world were dying to learn his techniques, following him to music shop seminars and talks around the world. It was off the back of these that his acclaimed Victor Wooten’s Centre for Music and Nature was formed, which has now taught thousands of students from all walks of life.
