Multi-instrumentalist, live-looper, jazz funk bassist Dr Funk brings busking into the 2020s. He makes the four-string sing. He surfs. His dream is to own a 67 Mustang Fastback. Hes not actually a doctor.

Dr Funk lives to play the bass. Thats really all you need to know. Slapping, popping, strumming, riffing, he elevates the humble rhythm instrument to levels of melody and showmanship that are more commonly associated with the lead guitar. Inspired by legendary bassists Marcus miller, Victor Wooten, Louis Johnson Funk is the type of player who could jam on a groove for hours, building it up with his loop machine and keys. Fellow musicians stop and play with him. Crowds gather. Intrigued ears fished by Funks playing, pausing and taking time out to enjoy a strangers soundtrack.
Its one of the most honest, unfiltered forms of performance you can imagine, and its one that the good doctor has known since he was 15. Since moving from Sunderland to Cornwall in search of surf, gigs and good times with his band of schoolmates south west festival favourites The Big Sets its the only job hes ever had. Over the years hes taken his unique style across Europe and, most recently, hes taken his work across the world as one of the most popular viral street performers online.
