Allow me to

INTRODUCE MYSELF

James Formosa recording a music video with Peterborough-based band Laketown, showcasing professional bass performance.

I’m a UK-based bassist working across studio and live projects. My background includes function work, original music, recording sessions and independent releases.

I work directly with artists and producers, contributing bass parts and supporting the development of tracks from rehearsal through to recording and performance.

 

My approach is practical and detail-focused, shaped by regular performance and studio work.

Alongside session work, I teach bass in Peterborough and online. Lessons are structured around time, tone, and musical awareness, with an emphasis on building skills that translate into real playing situations.

LIKE YOU?

Is This You?

Are you a beginner who’s overwhelmed by YouTube videos and unsure where to start?

Maybe you’ve been playing for years but feel stuck in a rut, your progress has stalled, and your playing doesn’t reflect what’s in your head. Do you struggle to lock in with the drummer, write your own bass lines, or improvise with confidence?

Whether you’re aiming to groove tighter, understand theory, or finally feel in control of your tone, I tailor each lesson to your goals. My students range from total beginners to experienced gigging musicians who want fresh direction and accountability.

If you’re motivated, open to learning, and ready to invest in your growth as a bassist, you might be the perfect fit. I offer structured, personalised support.

Let’s find out if we’re a good match. Get in touch today and tell me where you’re at.
