I am Fotis Toumanides and I've been playing bass for over 35 years. I am NOT a guitarist who tries to play bass, I am a bassist.
I mostly love rock, hard rock and heavy metal, but I do like some pop and melodic stuff if the song is good. I grew up with bands like Iron Maiden, Thin Lizzy, Cinderella, Motorhead and I love the music of Sting, Chris Rea, Steve Vai, Stuart Hamm and John Patitucci. Influenced by bassists like Steve Harris, Billy Sheehan, Stuart Hamm and Geddy Lee I always play with the song in mind, never show-off all I can do. I've studied music theory and harmony and I play finger style. I can also slap it and double hand tap it if I feel like it.
I was the bass player of many bands in my home city, "Elsewhen", "Right Side","Sahara" "White Tower", "Redrum", and I am currently playing with "Emerald Sun", "Sunday Hats", "Sails Of Charon", "The Prisoners" (Iron Maiden tribute band) and "Code S" (cover band). I am also a song writer (for the first 3) and the lead singer of "Sunday Hats".
You can listen (and see me) in all major platforms. Our latest releases are, "Kingdom of Gods" album with Emerald Sun, "Devil's Daughter" and "Creepy Santa" singles with Sunday Hats. Currently I'm working on a new Sails Of Charon song and also sessions to some really beautiful songs that other song writers asked me to record the bass track.
If you need a really good bass player "the real thing" as Alfredo (a client of mine) said, or if you like my voice and want me to sing your song, feel free to message me. I love playing new songs and receiving mail.
Keep rockin'
