Session bassist — Brooklyn, NY
Bass that
serves
the song.
Twenty years in the pocket. I lock in with the drums, or write the melodic line that lifts the whole track. You tell me which one your song needs.

Remote or in person. You send the track; I send back a finished part with stems.
- Wet + dry stems
- Revisions until it sits right
- 2–3 day turnaround
02
Live
Tours, one-offs, and sub work. Ten years on the road with Juice: I learn sets fast and show up ready.
- Nationally toured
- Fast on a setlist
- Own gear, own transport

Lessons
Pocket, groove, and feel: the stuff that gets you hired. All levels, in Brooklyn or over video.

Set 03 — Liner notes
From people who hired me.
“I have worked with Rami in studio as a co-producer/mixer/engineer on a handful of songs with his band Juice, and have to say he is spot on with locked in, tasteful parts. He has a way of lifting the song’s energy. Never ceases to impress.”
“100% the best bassist I’ve ever worked with. Aside from his insane technical skill, his ability to take direction and build off of different ideas makes working with him a producer’s dream.”
“Rami was able to implement the direction I provided while adding his own personality and creativity on the track I sent him. He was also very timely and communicative throughout the entire process.”
“A true professional with an amazing ear for music. The track was done within a few hours after tweaks.”

Set 04 — About
A band guy, for your band.
I’ve played bass for over twenty years, the last decade of them with Juice, the band I co-founded at Boston College in 2014. We’ve toured the country many times over and put out three EPs, an LP, and a pile of singles.
A decade of writing, recording, and touring with the same band taught me how to collaborate. I take direction well, and I’ll pitch ideas when you want them.
Elsewhere: I run Tri-State Backline (backline rental for NY/NJ/CT) and I’m building Advance, a tour management app for independent artists.
