***Google me and let's talk! Marleaux Bass Guitars artist, available for live performances, on site or remote recordings, tours, and all your bass needs***
Hi there!
My name is Enrique Mancía, and I'm a young, professional bass player and audio engineer. I'm a highly experienced and mature musician, with a couple hundreds of gigs and bunch of recordings and tours under my belt, and graduated with honors from The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music. I came to NYC in August 2011, since then I have played with many different artists, ranging from rock and metal to jazz, hip-hop, electronic/drum&bass, folk, Gospel, reggae, Latin, Klezmer....and have played in venues such as Highline Ballroom, Canal Room, One World Trace Center Obsevatory, Santos Party House's main stage, Club Bonafide, SRB Brooklyn, The Knitting Factory, Public Assembly, Webster Hall, Bitter End, The Beatles Revolution Lounge at the Mirage Casino (Las Vegas), The Stanhope House (New Jersey), The Chance Theater (Poughkeepsie)... and events such as Lollapalooza Festival opening party at Chicago's Hard Rock Hotel, CMJ Festival in NYC, and SXSW in Austin, TX. I have recorded with world-class producers such as Jay Baumgardner (Evanescence, Linkin' Park, Limp Bizkit...) in LA at Jay's NRG Recording Studios, and John Bender (Paramore, Killswitch Engage, Breaking Benjamin...) in NYC. These recordings are soon to be released.
I have a very solid foundation on music theory and arranging, as well as on time and rhythm; I have good ears that can identify most progressions at a glance, making me a very fast learner; I got chops, dynamics, good sound and articulation; and I know my fretboard very well and I can play anything in any key. All of that, to take your music to the next level =)
Hit me up and let's make some music!
