Darren Franklin Bio

Bassist / Music Director

Profile :

My musical journey began on the drums in church at the age of 8, then I switched to the bass from the age of 13 and have never looked back! Growing up in a musical family I was surrounded by various genres of music from a early age. From the likes of gospel, reggae, funk/soul & hip hop/rap.

Influences : 

Some of my musical influences on the bass were Marcus Miller, Sharay Reed, Nate Watts and Maurice Fitzgerald. They and many others moulded my bass playing in many ways, helping me incorporate my understanding of rhythm and groove from the drums to the bass. 

Experience : 

I have experience as a session musician/musical director on both bass and synth bass for many opportunities including;

Currently headlining, touring with Lola Young,

Recently debuted on The late late show with James Corden USA
