FILTRO

I am a bassist passionate about music and art, with a deep connection with the bass and his ability to bring every melody to life. Since I was little, music awakened in me a genuine love and an unwavering desire to explore its infinite possibilities. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of sharing the stage with great artists in countries such as Argentina, Mexico and Venezuela, experiences that have enriched my career and have allowed me to grow both musically and personally. In addition, he worked as a session bassist, participating in various recordings and record productions, always with the aim of capturing the unique sound that each song needs. My approach is to bring identity and essence to each project in which he participates. Currently, I am working on my first album as a soloist, a project in which I want to merge talents from different musicians and transmit a pure essence of music. I want each note to reflect my passion and my artistic vision, creating a sound journey that connects with those who listen to it. Music is more than an art, it is a universal language, and my mission is to continue exploring it and sharing it with the world.

Allow me to introduce myself – Tobias Stulz, an accomplished 23-year-old guitarist whose lifelong musical journey ignited from a young age. At just 8 years old, I picked up a guitar, and from that moment on, a profound love affair with the instrument began to shape my destiny.

Growing up, my commitment to my craft drove me to pursue a high school diploma from a specialized music-focused institution. This transformative experience not only sharpened my skills but also deepened my grasp of music's intricate language, forming the bedrock for my future as a musician.

My voyage towards mastery took a pivotal turn when I enrolled in the renowned music program at Popakademie Baden Württemberg. There, I soaked in every note of knowledge, refining my technique and immersing myself in the subtleties of musical composition. Guided by luminaries I emerged as an artist who adeptly blends innovation with tradition.

With a remarkable journey that spans over 250 live shows and many tours across Europe's length and breadth, I've earned my stripes as a seasoned performer. From intimate venues to colossal festivals, I've had the honor of captivating audiences alongside many of Germany's finest musicians.

I am proud to have established meaningful partnerships with renowned brands in the industry such as @mayonesguitars , @daddarioandco , and @bareknucklepickupsofficial . Furthermore, I've had the privilege of occasionally collaborating with trailblazing companies like @neuraldsp and @getgooddrums. These partnerships have allowed me to fine-tune my sound and performance, elevating my musical expression to new heights.

As my journey continues, I remain steadfastly dedicated to growth and refinement. With a foundation rooted in my experience playing guitar, I stand poised to expand my my work as a sideman and touring musician for top-tier acts all around the globe.
I envision lending my distinct touch to the very melodies that resonate with millions, enhancing the sonic landscapes of the music industry's luminaries.

Thank you ❤️Stay updated on my musical journey

"Pif" is a guitarist with many influences, who tries to coexist various different genres, in order to create a personal and recognizable guitar sound.

CdA was founded in 2014 as a cartoon cover band, immediately standing out for their explosive energy and direct connection with the audience. Over the years, they’ve won over thousands of fans with their high-voltage performances, eventually creating Mai Dire Goku—a unique format that, in the past year alone, has exploded across Italy. This success has taken them on tour through the country’s most iconic live clubs, major arenas, and top summer festivals, performing in front of thousands of people at every show.

Alongside their live success, CdA has earned significant recognition, appearing on national television (Rai 1) and collaborating with major figures in Italian entertainment—most notably, Carlo Verdone, who chose the band to arrange a track for his TV series Vita da Carlo 3.

After years of success and a growing fanbase, CdA is now evolving their artistic direction. The band has begun writing and producing original music, staying true to their anime roots while forging a new sonic identity. Their first four original tracks mark just the beginning of this transformation, as they aim to establish themselves as one of the leading names in the Italian rock scene.

Lorenzo Cicerchia, known on stage as Lorenz, is an Italian guitarist, producer, and performer whose
explosive playing and captivating stage presence have earned him a fast-growing reputation in the
national music scene. He began playing guitar and piano at the age of three, and started formal music
education by the age of five, eventually graduating cum laude from the prestigious Saint Louis College of
Music in Rome, with a degree in Rock/Blues Guitar and Composition.
In addition to his academic path, Lorenz studied under world-class guitarists like Guthrie Govan, Paul
Gilbert and Scott Henderson and has developed a versatile skill set as a multi-instrumentalist, arranger,
and music producer. From his studio, he composes original music, produces artists, and creates
soundtracks and scores.
As a music educator, Lorenz teaches in various schools and leads masterclasses across Italy, while also
pursuing an intense career as a live performer with his band CdA— a rock-driven, high-energy group that
reimagines anime and cartoon songs in a powerful, immersive live show format.
Over the past two years, Lorenz and CdA have created one of the most successful Event\Party live in Italy
named “Mai Dire Goku”
, a concert-party experience dedicated to anime and cartoon lovers that has
exploded in popularity. The show tours across Italy and Europe, drawing thousands of fans to major
stages, festivals, and clubs weekly.
The band is currently writing and producing original music inspired by anime culture, which has already
attracted interest from major record labels. Lorenz’s influence also extends online, where his quality
videos and visually striking content stand out for their detail, atmosphere, and storytelling. His feed
features a mix of professional photos, guitar performances, and short films that reflect his creative vision
and technical excellence. Thanks to his strong engagement and artistic identity, Lorenz has already
partnered with top-tier brands like Gibson, D’Addario, IK Multimedia, and more and is continuously
receiving proposals from major international companies.
With a unique blend of live impact, creative vision, and digital presence, Lorenz represents the new
generation of versatile, forward-thinking guitarists in Europe’s modern rock scene.

Barbie Almalbis recently celebrated her 25th year in the music scene with a concert chronicling her career as one of the most influential figures in Pinoy alternative rock. Her latest song "Desperate Hours" serves as the first official single off an upcoming fifth studio album, to be released at the end of the year.
Coming across as an innovative tour de force, Almalbis' avant-pop track refuses any easy categorization but unravels quite literally and figuratively as her most experimental work to date. It sounds like pop music in the strictest sense of the word, but not the type that is bound by rules and limitations.
Apart from the sonic bombast and unthinkable surprises, Almalbis® poetic songwriting shines even more on "Desperate Hours," where she penned material in a time of deep pain and longing.
You may listen to more of Barbie's music from albums by her bands, Barbie's Cradle and Hungry Young Poets.

3 Piece instrumental band from Perth Western Australia

MILKYWAY

Hi, I’m Reilly Miltrup and I play guitar in MILKYWAY — an instrumental three-piece progressive metal band based in Perth, Western Australia.

I’ve been playing guitar since I was a kid, and over the years it’s become a big part of how I process things and stay creative. In MILKYWAY, we lean heavily on our instruments to carry emotion and energy, so having a setup I can trust is really important.

I use a RockBoard 3.1 with the flightcase. It’s lightweight, compact, and keeps everything tidy — which makes a real difference when you’re packing for a show or navigating tight stage setups. I wanted a board that was simple, durable, and easy to work with, and this one just fits. The flightcase gives me peace of mind when travelling, and the layout keeps things practical without getting in the way of playing.

Pioneer of the guitar on the internet, Laura Cox has led the way for many young guitarists and is now at the forefront of the current landscape of guitarists in France and beyond. 
From bedroom recordings of Sweet Home Alabama [Lynyrd Skynyrd] and alikes uploaded on YouTube as early as 2008], she gathered a loyal following of half a million subscribers and her re-interpretations of classic rock songs (that also feature her on the banjo, lapsteel or bass).

She have reached more than 100 million viewers across the globe.
The multi-instrumentalist is one of the few artists who managed to break out of the virtual bubble and bring her musical vision to life with her own band: After two albums released in 2017 and 2019 (Verycords/Warner) and having played the biggest, most prominent stages for rock music in France (Hellfest, Download Festival, Guitare en Scène, etc.), Laura Cox is now back with "Head Above Water", a long-awaited album with a more personal take and a solid anchoring in rock.

 

This third studio album proves once again that Laura knows how to re-invent herself while she is revealing new facets of her musical talent. Recorded at the renowned ICP studios in Brussels, and mastered by Ted Jensen (The Eagles, The Rolling Stones, etc.), "Head Above Water" is ready to rock the boat. In her riffs and solos, Laura masters both flow and precision and her playing clearly shows that this woman knows how to take a guitar apart. Blending classic rock with bluegrass elements in an unparalleled ease, Laura Cox once again illustrates that she will remain a driving force in a new generation of rock guitarists in the years to come

Humans As Ornaments have always felt at home in a space of musical experimentation. Their songs contain a variety of influences - always delivered with a raw emotional intensity. Drawing from various genres between Post-Punk, Art-Rock, R&B and HipHop, the childhood friends Dave and Dennis continuously try to find connections within opposites.

In 2019, Zacharie finally formed his Blues trio. The Zacharie Defaut Trio was born from a desire to return to the roots of Blues and Vintage Rock, the very essence of the electric guitar. With Flavien You on bass, and his winning partner Kevin Lika on drums. It was after a trip to Los Angeles that Zacharie was endorsed by Morgan Amplification, then by Coppersound Pedals with whom he would form close ties. In 2019, he worked in collaboration with Coppersound on a unique Fuzz pedal that would reflect the sound he wanted. It was a success, the Captain Hook was released in December to the delight of guitarists. Subsequently, Zacharie signed with Savarez Strings for 2 years, then joined D'Addario Strings. With his trio, Zacharie released his first album Little Boy as a singer-guitarist in 2020. It was a great success and the ZD3 journey was launched. In the tradition of Hendrix, Gary-Clark Jr, or SRV, Zacharie immediately proved himself on the guitar, and made a name for himself among the promising young French guitarists of his era. Zacharie played a series of concerts and received support from his department by joining the summer scenes program, allowing him to be subsidized during his 2021 tour. 2022 marked a turning point for Zacharie because he met Edward Rogers, an outstanding keyboardist, who joined the band, thus giving birth to the Zacharie Defaut Band. The new richness of the writing and arrangements therefore steered the project in a more soul and pop-rock vein. After the release of several singles, 2023 will be marked by the release of Waiting For A Sign, a three-part album bringing together no less than 17 tracks with broad and rich influences. Once again Zacharie shows us his penchant for music with 70s colors, pop vocals, but blues riffs. It is a completely self-produced album, recorded and mixed by Zacharie and which will earn him numerous radio broadcasts on blues stations, in France, Belgium and then Canada. After a notable appearance at the Festival des Rendez-vous de l'Erdre in Nantes, Zacharie and his musicians won a Jury Prize awarded by the members of France Blues in September 2023. Approved by some bigwigs and players of French Blues, Zacharie therefore joined this France Blues network. The Zacharie Defaut Band quickly made a place for itself in the world of Blues-Rock and guitar. 2023 is marked in particular by great opening acts such as Keziah Jones, Trust, and Joe Louis Walker. Barely a few months after the release of his second album, Zacharie feels the urge to compose and create again. He sets himself the challenge of writing a third and new album as a Trio (ZD3), a sort of ultimate return to the source. Milady is therefore born from a desire to pay tribute to this instrument that Zacharie loves so much, the electric guitar, by giving it a central place in the writing of these 9 new tracks. The album is recorded the old-fashioned way: without artifice, without makeup. Kevin, Flavien and Zacharie lock themselves in a chalet in the mountains, taking with them a whole portable studio (consoles, microphones, preamps), in order to make timeless sound recordings themselves in a place cut off from the world. The tracks are recorded live, giving the pieces a power and sincerity that is so rare these days. It will only take a few days for Milady to be born. Release: May 3, 2024. Additional work: In addition to devoting himself body and soul to his solo project, Zacharie also accompanies many artists, as a guitarist, but also as a producer, or musical director (Robin, Edward Rogers, Jeff Mailfert, Herjay, Grissun, and many others). Since 2022, Zacharie has also worked hand in hand with Woodbrass and becomes the official demonstrator of the Guitar/Bass & Studio/Mic/Mix department. At the same time, in November 2023, Zacharie is putting together a Red Hot Chilli Peppers Tribute, called Red Hot Cherry Peppers. The group already has around ten festival dates for the 2024 season.

Premio Fabrizio De André 2019, il suo album d’esordio "BELTEMPO" è accolto con entusiasmo da critica e pubblico, punto di inizio di un tour promozionale che stava portando il cantautore ligure in giro per l’Italia prima dello stop pandemico. Dopo la pubblicazione, nel 2020, di “Precipitare” e “Barche” battezza il nuovo anno con “Sono anni”: un brano diverso, che sa di manifesto personale e di allergia ad ogni forma di retorica. 

A maggio 2021 pubblica “Fulmini Di Guerra” e dà inizio al “Temporali Estivi Tour”, quindici date in tutta Italia tra cui l'esibizione sul palco del Pistoia Blues Festival. A seguito del distico acustico "Poesia Cruda/Poetico" a novembre dello stesso anno, è prevista a marzo '22 la pubblicazione del secondo disco in studio "Attimi di sole" seguito in aprile da un tour promozionale che porterà il cantautore a confrontarsi con i principali live-club nazionali.

Nuujets is my instrumental project born from the need to give voice to the music that had long existed only in my head. It is where I channel years of experience and personal growth into a distinctive sound — intricate yet emotionally raw.

My debut album, While I Compress My Depression, is currently in the recording process. It condenses four years of composition, reflection, and artistic evolution into a sonic journey that explores melancholy, harmonic tension, and instrumental catharsis.

The influences behind Nuujets are wide-ranging: from the explosive energy of The Fall of Troy to the compositional elegance of Leo Brouwer, the jazz finesse of Joe Pass, and the modern expressiveness of Yvette Young. All of these elements are filtered through a punk spirit, marked by the rawness and attitude of bands like The Misfits, which strongly shape my musical identity.

On social media, Nuujets has been steadily building a growing and highly engaged community. My content combines introspective musical moments with humor, offering an honest and sometimes playful glimpse into the creative process.

Setu Chowdhury joined the band afterwards. Then one by one, Symon on drums and Roger on bass. After a while, Johnny joined as a bassist as Roger discontinued his journey with the Vikings.

Mateus Saos, Guitarist, session man and producer.
Always looking for his own sound with personality and professionalism, using quality equipment such as the rockboard in his workflow. 

Alex is best known for his mastery of both heavy metal and jazz guitar (also fluent in a multitude of styles, from blues to funk to flamenco-inspired acoustic).  

While a sixteen year old student of Joe Satriani, Alex, the son of Ivy League academics, joined Bay Area thrash metal outfit Testament. He uplifted the band with a sense of harmony and technique unheard of in the genre at the time. At eighteen, he recorded the first of five albums with the band’s original lineup, touring almost non-stop until his early 90s departure from the group.  By that time, he'd begun working with virtuoso bassists Stuart Hamm and Michael Manring. 

During the next decade, he left his touring life and guitar hero status behind in order to become a full-time University student. Inspired by the likes of John Scofield, Pat Martino, George Benson and others, he moved to New York to earn a BfA in Jazz from The New School. There he studied with such prestigious artists as Vic Juris, Cecil McBee and Reggie Workman, as well as taking classes in philosophy and creative writing. 

In the early 00’s, Alex released the first of several critically acclaimed albums with his eponymous trio, which had begun as a New School student ensemble. AST would go on to perform worldwide, receive extensive radio play and be described as such in Downbeat by journalist Bill Milkowski: “Skolnick runs the guitaristic gamut from lush chord melodies to Wes Montgomery-style octaves to screaming Sonny Sharrock-esque skronking” (Jan 2017).

In the mid-2000’s, Alex reunited with Testament, the impact of which eclipsed the band’s initial run, bringing them closer in status to tourmates such as Slayer, Megadeth and Lamb of God, the latter of whom has featured Alex as guest soloist. 

The 2020s has found Alex in an exciting new musical collective, PAKT, featuring fretless bass legend Percy Jones, best known for the pioneering fusion group Brand X (with Phil Collins) and work with Brian Eno, along with acclaimed experimental guitarist Tim Motzer and Drummer Kenny Grohowski (Brand X, John Zorn). 

In addition, bass master Stuart Hamm – who’d hired Alex back in the 90s for the guitarist’s first instrumental music tour (and opening doors to music beyond metal) – released Hold Fast, Stu’s long awaited LP with Alex on guitar. 

He is also a featured guitarist on recordings by Jane Getter Premonition, a project co-produced by and featuring his former New School instructor Adam Holzman (longtime Miles Davis keyboardist and Steven Wilson collaborator) along with a rotating cast of top players including drummer Gene Lake and bassist Mark Egan (of Pat Metheny Group). 

Before it’s untimely closing in 2022, Greenwich Village’s most prestigious jazz rock venue, 55 Bar, booked Alex in various ensembles and included him in a formal group photograph of New York’s improvisational luminaries. 

 In 2020, Alex launched Moods & Modes, a radio short-story podcast in which he is the host, producer and composer. With a unique take on musical thought, education, analysis, jam sessions and interviews, Moods & Modes has been a fixture on the Apple Podcast charts, ranking high in the category of “Musical Commentary.” Alex’s Moods & Modes guests have included Pat Metheny, Antonio Sanchez, bassist/rapper Divinity Roxx, Snarky Puppy’s Michael League as well as Frampton, Vai, Johnson and Satriani and Al Di Meola.

 In addition, Alex  is a respected writer. His 2021 extended essay for the academic current affairs journal Newlines, “Shut Up and Play Your Guitar,” became the second most shared article in the magazine’s history. His widely read Substack newsletter includes longform essays exploring the work of Thomas Pynchon, as well as Jeff Beck. 

His social media posts are often picked up and debated on mainstream music and culture websites, from Yahoo to Pitchfork to NME. 

Over the years, he has contributed numerous articles to other nationally distributed publications from Guitar Player, Guitar World, The Talkhouse, Unbuilt and others. He has also given keynote addresses at academic events such as Dayton University’s Metal and Cultural Impact conference as well as joining various PhDs at the International Society for Metal Studies in Helsinki. 

Alex has his own line of ESP signature guitars and a signature pickup made by Seymour Duncan. Additional product endorsements include D’Addario, Taylor Guitars, Godin Guitars, IK Multimedia, Orange Amps, Sadowsky Guitars, Gator cases and more. Whether he’s appearing at sophisticated jazz venues such as Yoshi’s in Northern California or The Blue Note in Milan, Italy or shredding at full volume at heavy music festivals such as France’s Hellfest or Germany’s Wacken Open Air, it’s safe to say that Skolnick has found his own niche as a guitarist. 

“Though he’s pretty much a household name in heavy metal, Alex defies categorization by musical genre.” (Making Music Magazine, Jan 2015).

Feuerschwanz

THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON started with a bet between Ad Infinitum singer Melissa Bonny and Hans Platz, the guitarist of Feuerschwanz. Whoever lost owed the other a “dare”. Hans won and challenged Melissa to record a metal version of their first ever single “Jenny Of Oldstones”, and the rest is history! Exploring the fantastical lives of famous pop culture heroes since their childhood, the multitalented musicians transform soundtracks of worldwide known movies, TV shows and video games into powerful metal tracks on the debut album Metamorphosis.

The Dark Side Of The Moon

German guitarist Hans Platz began playing in bands at the age of 16, considering the stage his second home ever since. With extensive studio and live experience, he currently plays with the band Feuerschwanz. With them, he has celebrated two number one entries in the official German album charts and regularly performs at sold-out venues and major festivals across Europe. Feuerschwanz's music videos on YouTube have garnered over 130 million views globally.

For his solo album Timestamps, Hans assembled world-class musicians such as Marco Minnemann (Aristocrats), Fabio Trentini, Wolfgang Haffner (Passport, Metro), legendary bass player TM Stevens (James Brown, Joe Cocker, Steve Vai, Billy Joel), and Pete Griffin (Zappa Plays Zappa). The result is a virtuoso instrumental album that stands up to international comparison and has been praised by the music press.

In 2021, a new band was born: together with Ad Infinitum singer and multi-talented Melissa Bonny, harpist Jenny Diehl, and Amaranthe drummer Morten Løwe Sørensen, THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON was formed. After hearing their first song, Napalm Records immediately signed the band, the debut album went on to achieve international chart success (DE, CH, US). Their album, Metamorphosis, features distinguished guests such as Rusanda Panfili (solo violinist for Hans Zimmer), Fabienne Erni (Eluveitie), Charlotte Wessels, and Tom Englund (Evergrey).

In the summer of 2023, bassist Steven Wussow (ORDEN OGAN, ex-XANDRIA) surprises his bandmate Axel Ritt (ex-GRAVE DIGGER), whom he knows from their work together in DOMAIN, with an unexpected WhatsApp message. As an admirer of great melodies, great songs and great productions of the 80s, he would like to create a band that has written the popular trademarks of the same era on the songwriting flags, but with a correspondingly more modern sound.

The idea fell on fertile ground with the songwriter, guitarist and producer, who quickly agreed on the classic rock line-up of V, G, B and Dr and found the perfect backbone in terms of beats, show and punch in Tim Breideband (Gregorian, ex-Freedom Call, ex-Bonfire).

When it comes to vocals, Facebook has found one of the country's best rockers in the form of singer Jessica Conte, a young entertainer with Sicilian roots, who "blows the boys away" with her voice. Despite her youth, Jessica has been musically influenced by the 70s / 80s decades, which makes her the ideal front woman for the band.

The result is the band JÄST, whose name is made up of the first letters of the first names in the best ABBA tradition.

The band's vision is "Bring Rock Back To Radio!", accompanied
with a live presence that offers fans of catchy rock music melodies and lyrics to sing along to with authenticity and a combination of great songs and entertainment.

VOWER allows them to explore uncharted territories in heavy music, a space where experimentation reigns and pure musical joy takes centre stage.

It's a sonic journey that throws off limitations and dives headfirst into the unknown. VOWER represents the immense potential that arises when passionate musicians come together, a promise to keep pushing boundaries and deliver ever-evolving, powerful music.

VOWER

Hi, my name is Rory McLean and I play bass in the band VOWER. 

I started playing music when I was 12, anything that made a musical note I was fascinated by and I would dedicate any free time I had to playing and writing music (I still do!). I then went on to study Bass at the ACM in Guildford UK and honed my craft here as a bass player. 

I am currently playing a GPS Corvette STD 5 and a Thumb NT 5. The Warwick sound is crucial to the sound of VOWER and there is no other bass that provides that snarl and growl.

With my Rockboard I needed something versatile and compact while also being future-proof and customisable. Having the MOD patchbays built-in is a game changer for me. Setting up on stage is so quick and efficient as it all powers off of one cable and any cabling happens from that one patchbay at the back.
