Nashville · Bassist · Composer

Bass-forward jazz,
played with friends.

Styric (say it "steer-rick") writes melodic, groove-first jazz from the bass chair, and brings a deep bench of world-class players onto every record.

Two lines from Styric on the song: where it came from, the feel, and who it is for. Swap this in for the real liner note when ready.

Styric playing bass
The story

New Haven born. Nashville based. Playing bass since thirteen.

Styric grew up on Earth, Wind & Fire, Dave Grusin, The Crusaders and Slave, and learned the instrument from Verdine White, Marcus Miller and Robert "Pops" Popwell. After Belmont University he built a career in corporate America, but never stopped playing: church, private dates, public gigs and every jam session he could find.

In 2020 he called on friends from the music world and released Seasons, one single for each season of the year, starting with "Springtime" on June 12. He has been releasing music, and pulling great players into the room, ever since.

"It's never too late, and anything is possible."
Styric, in conversation with CanvasRebel.
