Hey everyone! Today we are going to have a look at one my own personal idols, a man that has revolutionized the world of music for all bass players, Victor Wooten. Victor has been playing bass since he was only three years old, taught by his older bother Regi. He preformed for the first time when he was five years old. Victor is the father of four and a loving husband. He was first the bassist in his family’s band which consists of Regi, Roy, Rudy, Joseph.
Victor was inspired by Standley Clarke, Larry Graham and Bootsy Collins, all of whom I will be sure to add a bit of info on later. The bothers band settled in Newport News, Virginia and become the main attraction at the Busch Gardens theme park which enabled them to gain connections to Nashville and New York. Victor moved to Nashville where he worked and met Jonell Mosser and Béla Fleck. Later Fleck, Victor, his brother Roy and Howard Levy made the band called Flecktones. The band had three successful ablums before Levy left in 1993. Victor was able to show his amazing skills on his bass during this time and became a bass legend, earning a band Grammy. Victor has been more focused on solo work after the trio broke up.
