Victor Wooten

Every so often, you discover a musician whose instrumental performance literally boggles your mind and leaves you overjoyed, amazed and virtually speechless. Bassist Victor Wooten is, without a doubt, one of the finest bassists on the planet, having been honored as Bass Player Magazine’s ‘Bass player of the year’ – not once, but a staggering three times. Victor has been learning, playing and performing since he was three years old and was raised in a home where music was a part of his family’s every day life. Having been a member of Bela Fleck and the Flecktones since the late ‘80’s, Victor has toured the world, performing for millions of fans and gaining vast notoriety as a bass virtuoso. He has also released several solo projects and has lent his talent to a variety of projects for other musicians. Having been described as a bassist who has reinvented how the bass guitar is played, Victor will tell you that this was never his intention; rather his goal is to just be truthful as a musician.
