Welcome to the official YouTube Channel of Dr Funk
Multiinstrumentalist, livelooper, jazz funk bassist Dr Funk brings busking into the 2020s. He makes the fourstring sing. He surfs. His dream is to own a 67 Mustang Fastback. He’s not actually a doctor.
Dr Funk lives to play the bass. That’s really all you need to know. Slapping, popping, strumming, riffing, he elevates the humble rhythm instrument to levels of melody and showmanship that are more commonly associated with the lead guitar. Inspired by legendary bassists – Marcus miller, Victor Wooten, Louis Johnson – Funk is the type of player who could jam on a groove for hours, building it up with his loop machine and keys. Fellow musicians stop and play with him. Crowds gather. Intrigued ears fished by Funk’s playing, pausing and taking time out to enjoy a stranger’s soundtrack.
