Matthew Maltes Musician For Hire

You should definitely expect professionalism. I prepare my music days/ weeks in advance. I find as a bass player tone comes first which means that blending with the band and playing along with everyone is important. Then once that is established we can jump into getting the notes and chords perfected. I have different types of basses and effects for every type of occasion to make sure we’re good to go come the time of the gig

I started playing when I was 11 I picked up the bass and my dad walked me through some of the basics and I just had to learn the rest from there. I started playing in school which is how I started to learn the upright bass as well and using a bow. Playing in school is eventually what lead to me playing I college for all of the groups including the Jazz band, Orchestra, and Choir and Orchestra. Also during all of this time have played at different venues performing different genres including rock,funk, reggae, metal, worship, etc. Now a days I mostly play with my brother in a cover band but I am always on the look for more opportunities to play

I mostly run a board which has a DI capability or use a 1/4” output either way I’m flexible to play in any type of environment
