Bass players Laura Lee, Blu DeTiger, Karina Rykman and Adeline discuss what the low end brings to music, why playing for an audience is an unbeatable experience, and how where they鈥檙e from inspires their sound.

Laura Lee is the bassist in Khruangbin, formed with guitarist Mark Speer and drummer DJ Johnson Jr back in 2009 in Houston, Texas. Their music blends everything from rock, psych, funk, surf, and dub influences from across the world.

Blu DeTiger is a bassist and DJ from New York. She started playing bass when she was seven years old, inspired by her brother who was playing drums at the time, and rose to fame after videos of her playing during lockdown went viral on social media.

Karina Rykman is a member of jazz-rock musician Marco Benevento鈥檚 band, and describes herself as a 鈥済enre fluid bassist鈥�.

French-Caribbean singer, producer, and (of course) bassist Adeline blends Funk, R&B and vintage soul and was originally the front woman for the nu-disco band Escort.
