JJ is a German-born bassist & lately also composer/producer of Instrumentals from Amsterdam, NL.
In the past he had been a semi-pro member/bassist with 2 bands in first South-Germany & later in The Netherlands. Most notable band involvement so far had been his gigging for a while with “The JJC Helder Band”, a A’dam based group with a.o. guitarist Joop van Nimwegen (Ex-Q65/Livin’ Blues) and drummer Pierre van der Linden (Ex-Brainbox/Focus) of a certain Dutch Rock Music legacy.
Since 2003 he now focuses on composing, arranging, playing & finally also producing mainly own instrumental tunes in various Funk-Latin-Jazz-Smooth-World Beat styles & flavors. He self-released his (digital) album debut in 2005 and a 4-track EP/Album in 2009 as preview for his overdue upfollowing album “Moving On”…to be continued!????✌
